St. Martin's Day is a holiday in Holland. St. Martin was a man who did kind things for many people
in need. One cold winter day he was walking home. He wore a coat to keep warm and had a small piece of bread to eat. Then he saw a stranger on the side of the road. The man sat on the ground and he was
hungry and had no home. St. Martin took out his knife and cut his coat in two. He gave the man half of his warm coat. Then he gave the man half of his bread.
Nancy was a schoolgirl in Holland. One St. Martin's Day, she rode her bicycle with her classmates
after school. When she got home, she said goodbye to her classmates and went into her yard. As she
parked her bike, she heard a noise in the grass. She jumped back suddenly. At her feet was a small gray
homeless cat. "That old cat keeps .scaring me!" she complained as she walked into the room. "It won't
hurt you," said her father.
She was angry about the cat but she could not be unhappy for long. It was St. Martin's Day. "Who
was St. Martin anyway?" Nancy asked. Father told her the story of St. Martin. Nancy was touched
(惑动) by the story. She put a piece of bread in her bag and went into the yard.
Nancy heard the noise again. "You wait a minute!" she called as she ran after the cat. She caught it
and picked it up. She opened her bag. Taking out a piece of bread, she offered half to the cat. The cat
hungrily ate the bread. "May we make a box for it to sleep in?" Nancy asked her father. "Sure," said her
father.
