“Ambitions? What do I need ambitions to do? I’m just a dog,” says the dog.

【推荐2】When I was in the sixth grade, my teacher asked our class the question, “What does ‘doing the right thing’ mean to you? “She asked us to think about it over the weekend, and to talk to anyone else who we thought might have a good answer. By Monday, we were to hand in an article on it, and be prepared to live up to our answers. We should match word to what we do.
The whole weekend, I tried to come up with something special and easy to do. I talked to my parents, called my grandmother, and asked my next door neighbor. Everyone had good answers, but I didn’t feel like I could do them.
On Sunday afternoon, I met my four-year-old cousin Andrea. When Andrea was watching TV, I started to write my article. Soon I felt a pair of eyes on me. It was Andrea.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I have to write an article about what doing the right thing means to me.” I answered. Andrea laughed.
“That’s easy,” she said.
“OK, tell me the answer,” I said.
“Doing the right thing means being nice to your family and friends. Do what your mum says. Never lie. Take a bath when you’re dirty. Don’t waste water and electricity…”
I looked at Andrea amazingly. Not only had she answered a very difficult question for me, but I could easily follow all of her rules. So when I wrote my article, I included the story about Andrea and how she had answered my question.
Two weeks later, I received an A*along with a little note my teacher had written: “Always do the right thing—and give Andrea an A*, too!”

【推荐3】As the saying goes, “The roses in her hand, the flavor in mine.”
A few years ago, a friend gave me a restaurant gift card, and I picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my family to a nice restaurant. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (帐单). I reached into my wallet to get enough money to cover the rest. I saw two pieces of money inside. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip (小费). I reached down to pick the first one.
At that moment, my mind went back to 30 years ago. I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like this one. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I remembered seeing the other waitresses worrying about how they were going to pay the rent (房租). I remembered the pain in their eyes and the sadness in their faces at the end of the day.
I was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller piece in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger one. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, we handed them to the hard-working waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart.
We are all one family in this world. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace pain with joy.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant and the girl was very busy. But at last she came to Jack with a plate of fish and potatoes.
