【五块钱】

美国海关有一批没收的脚踏车，在公告后决定拍卖，拍卖会中，每次叫价，总有一个十岁出头的男孩以“五块”开始出价，然后又眼睁睁地看着脚踏车被别人用三十、四十元买去。

拍卖暂停休息时，拍卖员问那小男孩为什么不出较高的价格来买。男孩说，他只有五块钱。

拍卖会又开始了，男孩还是每次都以“五块”起价，当然最后还是被别人竞走。慢慢地，聚集的观众开始注意到那个总是首先出价的男孩，越来越多的人对男孩竞价的结果产生了浓厚的兴趣。

拍卖会快结束的时候，只剩一辆最棒的脚踏车，车身光亮如新，有多种排档、十段杆式变速器、双向手煞车、速度显示器和一套夜间电动灯光装置。这无疑是一辆难得的好车！

拍卖员问：“有谁出价？”

站在最前面，而几乎已经放弃希望的那个小男孩还是站起来，坚定地说：“五块”。此时拍卖会现场一片寂静。所有人屏住呼吸，静静地站在那儿等待着结果。

这时，所有在场的人全部盯住这位小男孩，没有人出声，没有人举手，也没有人喊价。直到拍卖员唱价三次后，他大声说：“这辆脚踏车卖给这位穿短裤白球鞋的小伙子！”

此话一出，全场鼓掌。那小男孩欢呼着举上那皱巴巴的五块钞票，得到了那辆毫无疑问是世上最漂亮的脚踏车，脸上流露出人们从未见过的最灿烂的笑容。

在我们的生命当中，除了“胜过别人”、“压过别人”、“超越别人”之外，我们能否可以“成就别人”？

"Any bids?" asked the auctioneer.

At the front, the little boy who had almost given up hope stood up and said firmly, "Five." The auction room was silent. All the people held their breath and stood still waiting for the result.

All eyes were on the little boy. No one spoke, no hand was raised, no price was called. After the auctioneer had bid three times, he exclaimed, "This bike for the young man in shorts and white sneakers!"

With this, the audience applauded. With the biggest smile anyone had ever seen, the little boy cheered and held up his crumpled five-dollar bill for what was, without a doubt, the most beautiful bicycle in the world.

In our lives, in addition to "outdoing others," "overpowering others," "surpassing others," can we "accomplish others"?
