TikTok上的一项挑战火了！从2020年初开始，为帮助社区和流浪者，在美国纽约的一家小小杂货店中，艾哈迈德·阿尔万（Ahmed Alwan）发起了一项“病毒式”的商店挑战。在他父亲的杂货店中，如果顾客答对了阿尔万提出的问题，就能得到五秒钟的免费购物时间。阿尔万拍下人们的搞笑反应，并上传到TikTok和Instagram上，在网络上迅速走红↓↓

To help out his community, Ahmed “Medy” Alwan created the viral bodega challenge: When customers of his father's bodega answer a simple question, they get five seconds to grab anything they want from the store. Medy films people's hilarious reactions and uploads the videos on TikTok and Instagram. 

在美国媒体People的采访中，阿尔万表示，他和父亲经营商店时，经常遇到有人来要食物和东西，父亲不知道应该如何拒绝，每次都有求必应。受到父亲的影响，阿尔万决定通过商店挑战的方式来帮助那些无家可归的人。

“This all came from him. I used to always see people come asking for food and stuff, and he doesn't know how to say no, whenever anybody really needs it. So he would always give, and that made me think about life.”

在阿尔万的视频中，可以看到他向挑战者提出问题：“如果你有10个苹果，减去4个橙子、子，还剩多少个苹果？”，“5乘5再加50是多少”，“10乘10再减50是多少”，“美国有多少个州？”......在挑战者答对问题后，他立即倒数，为了让挑战者拿到更多的食物，他还帮助挑战者“作弊”数到了二又四分之一，二又二分之一。

“If you have ten apples, minus four oranges. How much apples does that leave you with?”, “five times five, and plus fifty”, “ten times ten minus fifty”, “How many states are there in United States?”

阿尔万希望利用社交媒体来激励更多人在社区做善事。“我希望人们追随自己的梦想，追随自己的目标，”阿尔万说。“我希望他们能够以任何可能的方式提供帮助。”

Now Alwan hopes to use his social media reach to inspire others to do good within their community. "I want people to follow their dreams and follow their purpose," Alwan says. "I want them to be able to help out in any way possible."
