1 . One day, Tom’s teacher, Miss Gao, held a class meeting. “There will be a flag day (公益事业募捐日) next Saturday. Does anyone want to join this meaningful activity?” asked Miss Gao. Tom was interested in raising money for homeless children, but he was not brave enough to talk to the strangers (陌生人), so he kept quiet in his seat.
“Tom, you haven’t sold flags before,” said Miss Gao suddenly. “Would you like to have a try?” Tom was hesitant (犹豫), but he finally nodded.
On the flag day, Tom and Angela sold flags in a busy street. “Excuse me. Could y-o-u pl-ea-se buy...?” said Angela softly to the first person she met. The man smiled and put a five-dollar coin into Angela’s collection bag. Then she said thanks and put a flag on his shoulder. “I did it!” said Angela happily. “It’s your turn now.”
Feeling nervous, Tom began to shake. Soon, he saw a young lady walking towards him. The lady was smiling and holding a few coins in her hand. She asked, “Are you selling flags for Fund for the Homeless Children?” Tom’s face became red and said yes. Then the lady made the donation (捐赠) and Tom gave her a flag. “You made it!” Angela laughed.
In the following hours, Angela and Tom sold flags quickly and bravely. At last, their collection bags were so heavy that they had to hold them with both arms. They felt very proud.

As it’s known to more people, they began to call their breakfast stall “kitchen of love” because in their eyes it was a place to pass on love.
With more and more people coming and cooking, Wan and Xiong had to turn their stall into a big kitchen while people began to show their willingness (意愿) to share the costs (费用). Wan and Xiong finally agreed to set a very low price:1 yuan to cook a dish and 1.5 yuan to cook soup.
Now they are over 60, but to make it easier for others to use the kitchen, they still get up at 4 a.m. every day to boil water and cook rice.
Wan and Xiong always listen to patients family talking about their experiences because they believe listening to those people helps them feel better. Xiong says,“It’s necessary to take medicine when we’re ill. However, love is sometimes much better than any other medicine. I feel really happy to run the kitchen and help others.”
