Jim, a successful businessman, told an experience of his childhood.

When he was twelve, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with(相处) others. No one showed kindness to him. People always laughed at him. His only friend was a dog named Bobby. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but he was a little rude(粗鲁的) to it sometimes.

One day when he was going down the street, he saw a young lady walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. Jim came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” The lady said kindly and politely, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. He had never heard such kind words before. He watched her until she went far away. He was so excited that he whistled(吹口哨) to his dog.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated(重复) the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Bobby raised its ears. It seemed that the dog had understood what he said. “Even a dog likes it!” he thought.

“Well, Bobby, I won’t say unkind words to you any more,” he said. Bobby waved its tails(尾巴) happily. Later, they went directly to the river nearby. When he arrived at the riverside, he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. After that, he saw a nice clean boy. From then on, he started a new life.

After telling this story, the businessman stopped for a while. Then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, it was that kind woman who planted the first seed(种子) of kindness in me. All of us should learn about kindness. What great power(力量) it has!”
