Morgan is a small town in northern Europe. The society here is harmonious and the folk customs are simple. It is a custom in the town that every Christmas, the town organizes residents to select the most learned person, the most hard-working or toiling person, the most compassionate person, the oldest person who is not sick and the most loving couple.

It was Christmas again. In the evening, after a cheerful dance party, everyone gathered on the lawn in the center of the town and began to select this year's "five star" winner.

After judging the stars of erudition, hard work, love, and health, the last choice was the stars of benevolence. Before anyone could put forward a candidate, Gregor, the owner of the cake shop in his sixties, stood up, looked around, and said excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that Sean be elected the star of benevolence in our town this year." As soon as this was said, the crowd broke out, some people stared at him with bewildered eyes, some shook their heads and sneered, some shrugged their shoulders and spread their hands in a show of incomprehension. You know, Sean is a little boy of only four -year- old, and he knows what benevolence is? Hardy, the mayor, smiled and said, "Mr. Gregor, nominating Sean, are you kidding me?"" No joke, dear Mayor, "Brigall repeated unambiguously," I solemnly propose Sean as the Star of Charity! "Hardy asked in surprise," What's your reason for mentioning Sean? "Grigall said emotionally without hesitation," It was Sean who helped me through the saddest moment of my life and gave me the courage to live. "

Grigall's wife died suddenly of cancer in the first half of the year, and Grigall, childless and childless, was suddenly in a state of grief and loneliness. It was a bleak autumn day, and in the evening, he sat at home, looking at his wife's portrait, and couldn't help but cry again. At this time, Sean's mother heard bursts of crying from the neighbor's house, sighed, and called her son, who was playing in the garden in front of his wooden house, to give some instructions. Sean nodded, jumped over curiously, and saw Grigall sighing tearfully, with a large handful of sleeping pills in his palm. So he leaned over timidly, raised his tender face, and asked, "Grandpa, you, you... Why are you crying?" Hrigal suddenly saw the innocent and lovely little Sean, and the feeling of loneliness suddenly hit his heart, but he cried even more. Seeing this scene, Sean was infected, no longer asked questions, but obediently climbed onto Hrigal's lap and cried sadly... After crying for a while, he said decently, "Grandpa, don't be sad, you will have difficulties in the future, please find me!Seeing that the childish child in front of him had nothing to do with him actually accompanied him to cry and said such comforting words, Hrigal was very touched, hugged Sean's head, choked up and said, "Good boy! What a good boy!" So, the crying stopped slowly. Sean quickly wiped away his tears, jumped down, and pestered Grigard to play games with him. After a while, Grigard's mood brightened, and he finally dispelled the idea of suicide.

In the future, as soon as Sean heard his neighbor Grigall, the old man, crying, he would obey his mother's orders, run over to cry with him, and then play with the old man happily... Slowly, Grigall came out of the shadow of his widow, still working hard to run the cake shop, living as before.

After Grigall finished speaking, everyone did not criticize, and unanimously agreed that Sean's little boy was the "Charity Star" in the town this year.

After the voting, Hardy asked Sean, puzzled: "Dear little Sean, you are the youngest person in our town to be rated five stars. I don't understand why you moved Mr. Grigall so much. At that time, what else did you say and do?"

Sean pouted and replied, "No! I first sat in the old man's arms and cried with him, and then said that I had trouble coming to me!"

Crying with him? Having trouble coming to me? Hardy laughed when he heard that, and excitedly picked up Sean and kissed his little face, saying, "What a sensible child!" At the same time, he seemed to have realized something, and thought to himself: Happiness certainly wants someone to share it with, and people may need someone to share it with when they are in pain!

Ten years later, one day in June, Grigall died suddenly due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Hardy and a few others were cleaning up the relics, and sending a suicide note left by Grigall. In the will, Hardy entrusted Hardy to give all his savings in the bank of of 6 million kroner to Sean.

When Hardy handed the huge deposit certificate to Sean, a handsome 14-year-old man, he didn't expect Sean to accept it. What happened when he didn't care about the huge sum of money? Hardy was very puzzled and asked, "Sean, Grigall's suicide note was written clearly, he had no relatives, and he appointed you as his legal heir. Why didn't you accept the money?"

"I, I..." Sean hesitated, lowered his head, and his face was red.

Hardy shrugged gracefully, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Since you refuse to accept it, as Grigall's client, I must follow the will, so I have to give this money to your mother."

"No! No! You can't give it to my mother!Sean looked up, shaking his hands in a hurry.

"Then... why?" At this time, Hardy was like falling into a fog.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, Sean finally embarrassedly told the reason for shamelessly accepting Grigall's inheritance.

Sean's mother was a greedy woman. She had known for a long time that Gregor had made a lot of money running a cake shop for many years. After Mrs. Gregor died, Gregor was also very old. He was alone and had no inheritance. What would happen to the money? She was moved and wanted to get a share of the pie. When she learned that Gregor had lost his wife all day long, she arranged for the lively and lovely Sean to make emotional "bribes" to win Gregor's favor and get a sum of money in the future. Like crying with the old man Gregor and saying that he came to me in trouble, she taught Sean. Think about it, how could a 4-year-old say and do that? After Sean became sensible, he finally sensed her despicable purpose from her mother's words. Sean was ashamed of this, and had already made up his mind that he would not ask Grigard for 1 kroner.

After hearing this, Hardy could not help but feel angry atSean's mother's dirty psychology, and also relievedn's noble quality. After being stunned for a while, Hardy narrowed his eyes and asked, "Since you are unwilling to accept Grigall's inheritance, I will not force it. As the legal heir to the inheritance, what do you think should be done with this money?"

Sean seemed thoughtful and said quickly, "I suggest using this money to set up a Grigall Charity Fund in the town to help those in need!"

"That's a good idea!Hardy patted Sean on the shoulder and exclaimed, "You really are the true benevolent star of Morgan Town!"
