The wind was strong.Sam Edmunds' hat blew off.His long hair waved in the air.He
heard a voice behind him:“ Is that a boy or a girl?" He shook his head.“ Just one more month !"
he said to himself.
People often talked about his long hair behind his back.Sometimes they laughed at him.But he
never cared about that.The 14−year−old boy has spent three years growing his hair,because he
decided to do something for a very good programme by having his head shaved(剃发).
When he last had a haircut,in 2023,Sam raised 3,200 pounds for a local food bank(where
people in need can get food and help).He says,“ I always had the idea of doing it again."
Day after day,hope grew together with his hair.Finally,the time came.Sam walked into a
barber's shop(理发店).He took off his hat and his hair fell around his shoulders.The other
customers were very surprised.“ Please cut it short and give me the hair,” he said.The barber's
scissors did their work.Sam carefully put the hair into a bag and walked to the post office.
This time,Sam is supporting the Little Princess Trust,a charity that provides wigs(假
发)for young people who have no hair left because of medical conditions.And a week later,he
got a letter:
Thank you !
Dear Mr Edmunds,
Thank you for helping kids α ith medical conditions.This is enough hair for three ve ig s !
The Little Princess Trust
Sam looked at the smart young man in the mirror(镜子),and he was already thinking about his
next charity head s have.He remembered the words of Plato:“ Happiness springs from doing good and
helping others.” He smiled and said to himself,“
It'
s time to grow happiness again."
