On Feburuary 16,2007, just retired UN Secretary General Annan held a charity dinner in a manor of Texas in order to raise money for needy children in Africa and invited to the dinner were all wealthy businessmen and celebrities. Before the banquet was about to begin, an old lady came to the doorway of the manor with a little girl, an exquisite porcelain bottle was held in her palms.Several Charm and False Ideas of ugg boots sale

We have not received invitation.She wanted to come.I just accompanied her." The old woman said to Anthony, stroking the little girl on the head. "I am sorry, but you can not go inside without the invitation if you are not staff." Anthony said. "Why? This is not a charity dinner?

The old woman's face was very serious, "cute little Lucy knew from television that there was going to be a charity event for the children of Africa charity event here, and she wanted to do something for those poor kids, so she decided to take out all her money in the piggy bank. " The old woman`s face was very serious, [My lovely little Lucy knows that there will be a charity activity for African children on TV. She wants to do something for those poor children very much and decided to take out all the money in her piggy bank. Anthony paused for a moment and said, "very happy to see you that you come here with kindness, but I think this occasion is not suitable for you." "Uncle, benevolence is not the money, but the heart, isn't it?" the little girl Lucy who didn't speak all long asked Anthony. Her words made Anthony shocked.[I know people invited are rich and they will donate handsomely. I don`t have that much, but it is all I have. If I really can`t be allowed in, please take it in for me!" When the little girl finished her words, she handed the piggy bank in her hand to Anthony.
When Antony didn`t know whether to receive it not and didn`t know what to do, suddenly someone said: [Kid, you are right, charity is not money but heart. You can come in, all the people who have a loving heart all can come in." The speaker was an old man. He was smiling, standing beside the little Lucy. And then, he bent and said some words to little Lucy. After he straightened his back, and handed an invitation card to Anthony: [May I come in with her?" After checking the invitation, Anthony saluted to the old man. "Of course, Mr Warren Buffet."
The star that night was not the proposer Annan, not Buffet who donated 3 million USD, not Bill Gates who donated 8 million USD, but little Lucy, who only gave 30.25 USD. That dinner slogan also became such a sentence, "Charity is not money but heart." The next day,with this sentence as the title, major US media reported this charity dinner one after another. After reading the report, many ordinary Americans expressed that they would like to raise money for the poor children.
