for one or two poor families. With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited her commitment
to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted. This year, Kinzie, her seven-
year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named
Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.
The phone rang on Sunday. A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann
had requested for Ashley had fallen through. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.
Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children"s faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie ran into her
bedroom. She returned, her face set with determination. Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto
the table: $3.30. Everything she had.
"Mom," she told Ann, "I know it"s not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby."
At a breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her coworkers about her daughter"s story. To her surprise,
staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie. By day"s end, the story of
Kinzie"s gift had spread beyond Ann"s office. She received a call from an unknown donor. If a seven-year-old
could give everything she had, he said, he should at least match her gift 100 to 1. He contributed $300.
On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived. Then
she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one.
Ashley was very moved. Reflecting on a little girl"s generosity, Ashley says she"ll one day be able to do
something similar for someone else in need. "Kinzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it
away," Ashley says. "She"s the type of kid I"d like my son to grow up to be."

| When I was about five years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the Blackfoot Blood Reserve in northern Montana where I was born. I loved this bird; I would 1 him for hours. He would 2 effortlessly in that gigantic sky, or he would come down and light on the 3 and float there beautifully. Sometimes when I watched him, he would not make a sound and liked to move 4 into the grasses. We called him meksikatsi, which in the Blackfoot language 5 "pink-colored feet"; meksikatsi and I became very good friends. The bird had a very particular significance to me 6 I desperately wanted to be able to fly too. I felt very much as if I was the kind of person who had been born into a world where 7 was impossible. And most of the things that I 8 about would not be possible for me but would be possible only for other people. When I was ten years old, something unexpected 9 my life suddenly. I found myself become an 10 child in a family I was not born into; I found myself in a 11 position that many native Americans find themselves in, living in a city that they do not understand at all, not in another culture but 12 two cultures. A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what 13 people have called that bird for thousands of years. Meksikatsi, he said, was really "duck". I was very 14 with English. I could not understand it. First of all, the bird did not look like "duck", and when it made a 15 , it did not sound like "duck", I was even more 16 when I found out that the meaning of the verb "to duck" came from the bird. As I 17 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of 18 , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning. I 19 that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different 20 , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
