1 . Do you often help the people who are in need?

One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry your basket.”

“Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you.” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were happy.

The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel (水果皮). She threw it into the dustbin (垃圾箱). “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip (滑倒) and fall.” Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right. But almost all great things are made up of such small things. We shouldn’t wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these things that are full of love.

6 . It was a cold December evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a man sitting inside a cardboard box in the roadside. She turned to me and said, "That man's cold, Daddy. Can we take him home?"

I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted(欣喜) at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds flying or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn't even four.

A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who offered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package(包裹), and offered it to an elderly person. And we joined it. Nora was excited about it.

She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was.

When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we needed to help.

She invited us at once.

The building was dark. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I followed. The woman showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears.

Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen(减少) that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone—it was in our lives, too.
