Today we are reading a story about two sisters. Their names were Sandy and Candy. They were very lonely. When their mother died ， Sandy was only a junior high student ， and Candy was an elementary school student. Their father was a gambler. He gambled nights and days and finally ended up in high debt. So ， to avoid repaying the money ， he ran away and left the two sisters behind.

At that time their mother had been dead for five years. After their father walked out on them ， the two sisters could only stay at a friend ^’ s house ， because their own house was given away to repay their father ^’ s debt. But the two sisters never feared hardship and did not lose hope for a better life. They lived their lives happily and actively.

The two sisters were both very hardworking. After school ， Sandy ， the elder sister ， did everything she could to support the family. She sold newspapers and sometimes worked as a tutor to earn extra money. And Candy ， the younger sister ， prepared meals and did all the chores at home. Though the younger sister was small ， she could manage money very well. The two sisters cared for each other. And their school grades were excellent.

Now ， the two sisters are still in poverty. But their stories have touched a lot of people ， and they help the two sisters in any way they can. The landlord ， the bathhouse keeper ， the shop owners ， their schoolmates and teachers in the same neighborhood are all looking after them. Poor as they are ， they say they are the happiest persons in the world because they can be with each other every day.
