Joy, a ten-year-old boy who loved nature, is always ready to help others, whether animals or humans. For example, he is always keeping water in a large basin in his yard for watering the birds and other animals.
One noon, he was playing on the grass in a bushy garden after school. He enjoyed the chirping (叽喳叫) birds, colorful butterflies, and two squirrels playing on the coconut trees. It was their own free kingdom, and Joy felt like an outsider. He decided to give them space to enjoy freely.
So he found an open grass and lay down, feeling like sunbathing on a greeny beach. Under the hot sun, Joy covered the eyes with his soft palms (手掌). His mind flew and thought about his class teacher Miss Shyla’s homework task — to do a good deed every day.
Joy stretched (伸出) out his hands, fed the squirrel some crazy biscuits and played with it. He felt the tiny eyes of a squirrel upon him. And just then, Joy saw a big rat spying on him from a hole. Upon seeing the big rat, Joy rose to his feet before it silently moving and running towards the hole. Finally, he failed to find the rat and the rat hid into its hole. Joy lay down again.
As he enjoyed the greeny beach and the sight of the blue sky, he couldn’t help but thought, “What a wonderful and blessed world it is! We humans should allow the animals to live as they wished.”
Suddenly, a tiny bird fell to the ground before his eyes. The bird shook several times and then lost consciousness (知觉). Joy jumped up and tried his best to wake the bird up, but failed. He thought the bird had fainted (晕倒) because of the heat. He couldn’t bear to see the little creature suffer and decided to take care of the bird.

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didn’t see some rain soon we would lose everything. It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and witnessed the best miracle I have ever seen in my life.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for the family when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. I could only see his back. He wasn’t walking with his usual steps. He was obviously walking with great effort... trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house. I went back to make sandwiches, thinking that whatever he had been doing was completed. Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking cautiously to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill(溅出) the water he held in them. I stepped close as he went into the woods. Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He might have a much greater purpose, I thought. As I came closer, I saw the most amazing sight. Several large deer stood in front of him. Billy walked right up to them, at the sight of which I almost screamed for him to get away. A huge buck (雄鹿) was dangerously close. But the buck neither threatened him nor even moved as Billy knelt down. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion, lifting its head with great effort to lap (舔) up the water cupped in my boy’s hands.

Kim’s family moved frequently from one place to another due to his father’s profession. Kim had to start a new school every few years. Therefore, Kim’s school life was terrible. He didn’t have any best friends.
One day, Kim went to his classmate Rocky’s home. As soon as they entered the house, Rocky’s pet jumped on Rocky and started licking his face. Rocky said, “My doggy loves me very much. Animals can’t speak, but they have feelings, too.” His words were so touchy that Kim thought about keeping a pet.
Kim talked with his mother. She was afraid of dogs. She said that if Kim kept a dog at home, then it would be entirely his responsibility. The real task for Kim was his father. They were pure vegetarian. His father knew that animal needs meat for growth, which he never bought in the market. Therefore, he said a clear no to Kim’s demand.
One day, Kim saw a puppy in the park, who was in pain because of an injured ear. The puppy was weeping. Kim couldn’t stop himself and took it home.

So I adopted an adorable Golden Retriever(金毛猎犬) puppy against my parents’ wishes.
Soon, I realized my parents were right. The dog was so naughty that it caused me a lot of trouble every day. In fact, she soon earned the nickname(绰号) Bella the Devil at school.
However, as time went by, she taught me how to be a better dog mom, and I taught her how to be a better dog. We became best friends and did everything together. Bella was there for me all the time: parties, restaurants, games, even dates! We loved spending time together. By the time I was a senior, Bella and I developed a stronger relationship. She was truly my best friend.
In the third year, I worked at the local college l bar not far from the house. One night, I was running late. Bella and I had been with friends down the street when I realized it was already 9:00 p.m. We had to rush home so I could make it to work by 9:30. I ran through the front door and jumped to the bathroom to have a shower. Bella followed me into the bathroom and lay in her usual place on the bathroom floor. Then I heard my front door open. It was so loud that I thought it was strange. It couldn’t be my roommate for she had flown to New York. I turned off the shower and yelled her name. No answer.

One evening, it was raining heavily. An old lady was sitting inside her car, stuck in the middle of the road. It was clear that she badly needed help. A poorly dressed man approached her car but hesitated to speak.
The lady rolled down her window. She looked worried. She tried to smile as the man approached.
“Hello ma’am, can I help you?” the man said. The lady looked puzzled and said, “Yes.” “Please wait inside your car and let me see if I can solve the problem. By the way, I’m Thomas Anderson,” the man named Thomas said. He discovered that she had a flat tire and soon fixed the problem.
“I really don’t have enough words to thank you. How much should I pay you?” she asked, ready to reward him for his kindness. Thomas was surprised. He had never expected any reward from her, though his family would badly need money once their baby was born next month.
“That’s so nice of you, ma’am,” he said. “But if you really want to pay me back, the next time you see someone who needs help, please think of me and help that person. I hope this chain of love will not end with you.” He smiled and went away before the lady could say anything more.
The lady was touched. Anyone who saw the ragged man would think that he needed help, even though he was the one who was helping others.
As the lady went on her way, she found a small cafe down the road. She decided to have a cup of hot coffee. As she went inside, a waitress came up to her with a very clean towel so that she could dry her wet hair. The lady observed that the waitress was heavily pregnant(怀孕的). She looked tired, but she tried not to show it.

Years ago, not long after graduating from school and starting my career in Denver, I set off on an exciting alone trip to reunite with an old friend. As I packed my car, little did I know that this adventure would uncover the remarkable bonds that can form between strangers, all driven by the simple exchange of “thank you.”
My journey began with an exciting flight to Albuquerque, a lively city in New Mexico. My ultimate destination was Oklahoma City, where I looked forward to visiting a dear friend. The trip was relatively smooth, treating me to beautiful sights along the way. While waiting in line to pay for gas, I struck up a friendly chat with an older couple who were also refueling their vehicle.
Continuing my journey with joy in my heart, dark smoke suddenly rising from my car’s back. Panic grasped me as I hurriedly pulled over to the side of the road, unsure of our next steps. In an incredible turning point of fate, the same friendly couple from the gas station pulled up behind my car. With warm smiles and open hearts, they generously offered to drive me to my friend’s place in Oklahoma City. During the ride, we engaged in lively conversations, sharing stories and laughter as the miles passed by. Upon reaching our destination, the husband even handed me his business card as a gesture of goodwill and kindness.
Appreciative of their help, I later expressed my gratitude through a heartfelt thank-you note. In response, they sent me a precious Christmas gift along with a touching note as well. As the years passed, life threw another similar story on my way. On a significant day, I drove to a nearby town for an important meeting.
Unfortunately, in my hurry, I accidentally left my car’s lights on all day long. As nightfall approached, I returned to my car, only to find that the battery had completely died. Thankfully, I noticed the Friendly Ford dealership conveniently located next door. Filled with hope, I entered the showroom, where I encountered two helpful salesmen.

I’m a hurdler (跨栏运动员). Last year, I won a gold medal. However, I might not have won it without a girl’s help.
I was in a city in a foreign country where I participated in a very important competition. I usually took a bus to the venue where the races were held.
One day, I was supposed to take part in my final men’s 110-meter race. I set off to go to the venue about an hour before the race. I got on the bus that would take me to the venue. I looked around the bus and saw nobody I knew. Soon I began to feel bored. Therefore, I decided to listen to some music. I put on my earphones and the loud music began.
I listened and listened and when I looked out of the window, I became worried. I was not familiar with the surroundings. “No, I have missed my bus stop,” I said to myself. I immediately went to the bus driver and asked him to stop the bus, but it took him about 5 minutes to understand what I was saying
Luckily, the bus stopped at the next bus stop. I immediately got off the bus. Looking at the totally new surroundings, I was very anxious. I wanted to take a bus that would take me to the venue, but I didn’t know when it would come. I knew I had to take a taxi, but I had no money for the taxi fare. I feared I’d be late for the race, not to mention having time for a warm-up.
Just then a local girl walked to me. She looked very nice. She stopped before me and asked me in English if I needed any help. I told her that my race was going to take place soon. It turned out that she was a volunteer. She told me not to worry. Then she stopped a taxi for me. She told the driver where I was going, and she also paid for the ride for me.
