【推荐1】After all of these years, I still remember my first moment of kindness. It was the first day of kindergarten. I walked in with my mom and was ______ at all the toys against the walls. I immediately ran over to play. Most of the other kids were doing the same.

In the corner though, I saw one girl, sitting by herself. She was small and looked ______ . She was the only one in the class shorter than me. Her ______ eyes looked like she had been crying. None of the other children seemed to notice her there. I went back to ______ the toy cars but after a minute, I looked up ______ her again. She seemed so patient. Something inside started to stir(搅动). After a moment, I ______ two of the toy cars and walked over to her. "Do you want to play?" I asked. She smiled and ______ her head yes.

What made me remember that the first unselfish act was a ______ that little girl wrote to me after we were both grown. She told me how her illness made the other kids ______ her and how that moment of kindness had ______ her life. She had valued the ______ I had offered her and carried it in her ______ even after she moved away. I wrote her back and we continued our friendship through the mail for several years ______ the disease finally took her life.

Today I still thanked my unselfish little heart for ______ me to be kind to a little girl who needed a friend. I thought of how a moment of kindness can ______ so much to another, and of how a simple act can make the world so much better. May your life be full of giving, caring and helping that bring joy to you while you bring joy to others.
