【推荐1】It was a winter morning, just a few weeks before New Year’s Day. While most people were warming up their cars. Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. When he arrived, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually did. After working for 10 hours, he returned to find his bike gone.

The bike was our only transport. Trevor used it to go to work, working 60 hours every week to support our young family. And the bike was also used to get vegetables, saving us from having to walk a long distance from where we lived.

I was so sad about someone stealing our bike and I wrote to the newspaper and told our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It was really an honor that complete strangers would go out of their way for someone they had never met before.

People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, and acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a strong and wide effect on our lives because it made us strongly believe there’s love between people. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the influence can last long.

“No, thank you. You’re really a good girl!” she says.
