1 . Sue was an eight-year-old girl. One day, she heard her parents talking about her little brother, Andrew. Andrew was sick but they had no money. Only an expensive operation (手术) could save him. When she heard her father say that only a miracle (奇迹) could save him, she took out all her money and ran to a drugstore (药店).
“What do you want?” asked the salesman in the drugstore. “I want to buy a miracle,” Sue answered. “My brother is sick and only a miracle can save him. So how much is a miracle?”
“We don’t sell miracles here,” the salesman said.
“I have money to pay for it. Please tell me how much it costs.”
Another man asked the girl, “What kind of miracle do you want?”
“I don’t know,” Sue answered in tears. “How much do you have?” the man asked. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Sue said.
“That’s enough,” the man smiled. “Can you take me to see your brother? Maybe I have the miracle you need.”
In fact, the man was a famous doctor. At last , he did the operation without accepting any money. And three months later, Andrew was well.
“It is really a miracle. How much does it cost?” Sue’s father asked. The doctor smiled, “It costs the faith (信任) of a little child.”

5 . It was a cold day in December in New York City. A little boy about ten years old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway. He was looking through the window, barefooted and shaking with cold. A lady walked to the boy and said, “My little boy, what are you looking at?” “I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes.” was the boy’s answer.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store. She asked the clerk (工作人员) to get a pair of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin (盆) of hot water and a towel (毛巾).

10 . Near the end of 2015, something started in Mashhad, Iran. A blue wall appeared with a message in Farsi: “If you don’t need it, leave it. If you need it, take it.” The message referred to the clothes hanging on the wall that were left for the homeless. Everything on the “Wall of Kindness” is free to those who need it, giving the city’s homeless and poor people a chance to dress themselves in warm clothes in the recent cold.
The clothes are left behind by regular citizens (市民) who want to give directly to the homeless. Winters in Iran can be very cold, and many homeless people sleep outside. The clothing donations help them stay warm. There are a growing number of homeless people in Iran due to the poor economy (经济).
This idea comes from a South African named Max Pazak in 2014. It made it easier for people to donate and receive. Most people loved the idea and hoped it would spread across Iran. It has already happened in many other cities, and more cities are starting their own kindness walls.
On January 15th, 2016, a wall of kindness was seen in Pakistan’s Karachi and another one in China’s Liuzhou, a city in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region (自治区) on January 19th, 2016. In April 2016, students of the Mary-mount International School in Rome reproduced the idea by naming a wall with the similar name. Recently, the similar wall of kindness was seen in two Indian cities New Delhi and Varanasi.
Now, the idea is going a long way in helping those in need around the world.
