In the middle of a dark forest, there is an owl (猫头鹰). All the animals know that he is the smartest among all of them. So they often go to him and tell him their troubles. Then the owl always teaches them what they should do.
One day, a little bird goes up to the owl. She is crying. “What’s wrong with you?” asks the owl.
“I’m not happy at all. I don’t want to be a bird,” the bird says.
“Why don’t you want to be a bird?” asks the owl.
“I am so small, weak and useless,” she cries. “I want to be big and strong like the lion. He is very important, but I am not.”
Then the owl whispers something in her ear. At once the bird dries her tears and goes away. One week later, the bird comes back. “Oh, thank you very much. You are a very smart owl,” she says to the owl. “I am very happy now. Every day, I sit on top of the tallest tree and watch for lions and tigers. When they come near, I shout at the top of my voice. Then my friends all run. They are very thankful to me. I am useful and important now.”
The smart owl smiles and says, “No one in this world is useless.”

【推荐2】Last month, I told my pupils in Pompton School about my plan. “I’d like you to do jobs to make some money.” I said. “Then we’ll buy food for someone in need.”
I wanted them to experience that it’s more meaningful to give than to receive. I hope they could experience a sense of their own ability to make a change.
After working for a couple of weeks, children made plenty of pocket money. I told them we would visit an old woman who lived not far away.
Before Christmas, we gathered in front of the supermarket and went shopping. When we were paying for the bread and other food, Christine cried.
“Flowers!” At the same time, the group all ran towards the holiday plants.
“Don’t buy flowers!” I said impatiently. After all, it was more necessary to buy some food.
“But Mrs. Sherlock,” came the loud voice, “we want flowers.”
In the middle of plants, there was a pot of unusually purple flowers. “She will like this one.” All the children agreed.
With the address of a poor woman who had lived alone for years, we started driving. An hour later, we stopped in front of a small house. A woman opened the door. The house was so dark. It took me minutes to adapt to the dim light and then I found the room was old but tidy.
As the kids carried all the food in, the old woman greeted everyone—much to her visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the flowers on the table, the woman seemed shocked. “She’s wishing it was a bag of food.” I thought.
“What do you often do at home?” Michael asked.
The woman brightened.” Feed the birds. They often fly to me because I share my bread with them.” She said.
We talked for a while, then said goodbye to each other. Through the window we saw her walk past the food, straight to the flowers. She put her face-in them and looked up with a big smile. She was different before our eyes! In that one short moment, the children saw for themselves the ability they owned to make a change. “I am so proud of you.” I smiled to my pupils.
Sometimes a person needs a pot of nice purple flowers on a dark winter day.

【推荐3】Last weekend at the airport, I had some time before the plane took off. While wondering (想要知道) what to do, I saw a girl who sold flowers outside the waiting hall. I decided it was the best time to do something kind.
I went out of the hall. And I told the girl I’d like to buy some flowers for someone, and she could decide who she wanted to give the flowers to. At that time, she couldn’t know what I meant. Then I said, “You can give the flowers that I buy to someone who looks sad.” She was a little surprised and asked me, “Why?” I smiled and answered, “Maybe she or he needs some flowers. It’s just an act of kindness. In fact, I’m not sure what will happen,” I said. “But you will make someone have a good day.” She became excited about it. She smiled at me with her eyes wide open.
At that time, I think she was between surprised (吃惊的) and happy because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me. I paid for the flowers, said goodbye and went away. What a nice day I had!

【推荐1】An old man was sitting on the sofa with Mike, his 45-year-old son. Suddenly a dove(鸽子) landed on the ground. The father asked his son, “What is this?”
The son replied, “It is a dove.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just told you. It’s a dove.”After a little while, the old father asked his son for the third time, “What is this?” This time Mike could not control his anger and shouted, “It’s a dove, a dove. Why do you keep asking me the same question? I have told you so many times. ‘IT IS A DOVE!’ Don’t you understand this?” The old man silently took out an old diary, turned to a page and showed it to Mike. Though a little impatient(不耐烦), Mike began to read it.
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a dove landed on the ground, and my son asked me what it was. I smiled at him, said it was a dove and hugged(拥抱) him. After a while, Mike asked me again and I did the same. Pointing to the same dove, little Mike asked me what it was 23 times and I kept on answering his question and hugging him every time.” Something gently touched Mike’s heart. His face turned red with shame for being so impatient with his father and he hugged him warmly.
