Have you bought any second-hand things?Have you sold anything of yours to others?Any stories behind it?
After a whole week of rain,we finally had a comfortable,beautiful summer day outside.My family and I were driving to a nearby town when my daughter found a yard sale.We saw old toys and a couple of guitars.We saw huge piles of clothes and even a piece of furniture (家具) or two for sale.Best of all,we saw lots of smiling people talking,laughing,sitting and standing in the sunshine.
Seeing all of this brought back memories of my childhood.Most of my clothes back then came from yard sales.My mom was a talented yard sale shopper.I used to hate going to them until one special day when I saw that they also sold old books there.After that,I always browsed (瀏覽) the books until it was time to go and sometimes my mom would buy me one too.Soon a large part of my home library came from yard sale books.To me,they were more priceless than new ones.
Why do we have yard sales?We throw away our old things and we buy "new" old things.But it certainly isn't for the money.It's that yard sales bring us together.We talk and catch up with old friends and new neighbors.We connect(聯系) with kindness and our love for all the old stuff(物品).
I think yard sales teach us something about life,too.We can't really own anything here,after jye.ai.All we get is to have the stuff for a period of time.Then it is time to let it go and pass it on.
