1 . Emily Bhatnagar loves reading. “As a kid, I was really shy, so I always read books,” she said. “They became my best friends when I didn’t have one.”
In 2019, Bhatnagar’s father got a serious illness (病). The news was terrible for the family. Books helped Bhatnagar change (改变) her bad feelings into something good. After her father got well, she came up with an idea to help others with books.
Soon Bhatnagar started a book drive (捐书) called For Love & Buttercup in her hometown to collect (收集) books and give them to the ill children in local hospitals. Her father was not astonished after hearing about this plan. “She was always interested in books and wanted to do things for others,” he said. Bhatnagar started it on the Internet by asking people in her area to donate (捐赠) books. At first she felt she wouldn’t get much attention (关注). But after news stations started reporting it, lots of people were ready to give a hand.
Campbell works at one of the hospitals where Bhatnagar has donated books. She said, “The sick children in the hospital don’t have many chances to read. The books have brought them hope and made a big difference to their life.”
Now Bhatnagar is still running the book drive and she has collected over 10,000 books. She still remembers the first time she visited the children who had received her books. “It was the best day of my life.” she said. “I think I want to do this kind of work forever.”

5 . Some rich and beautiful ladies were sitting on the bank of a river, enjoying their picnic. When they were washing their hands and feet in the clean water, they saw their reflections (倒影).
Seeing their reflections in the water, they started to praise their own beauty. One of them said, “How beautiful my hands are!”
Another woman said her hands were even more beautiful. A third one said the same thing. Soon, an argument (争吵) broke out among them.
They saw an old woman passing by. She was walking with the help of a stick and her clothes were dirty. Seeing her, one lady suggested asking the old woman about whose hands were the most beautiful. They all agreed. When the old woman came near, they showed her their hands and asked, “Who has the most beautiful hands?”
The old woman said, “I am hungry and thirsty. Give me something to eat and then answer you.”
They refused and asked her to go away.
A poor woman saw all this. She went to the old woman and made her sit comfortably. She opened her lunch box and shared her food and water. Then she helped wash the old woman’s hands and feet, while giving great comfort to her.
After the old woman felt a little better, she went back to those rich ladies. Pointing to that poor woman, she said, “She has the most beautiful hands.”
All the ladies laughed. “What do you know about beauty?” Hearing this, the old woman replied, “Beautiful hands belong to those who do good and serve the people who need help.”

9 . Every community has an ice cream shop, but not every shop owner has a special task. When Charles opened the shop, he had a goal in his mind. “My goal is to treat people as a family member and to have a positive influence on my community,” he said.
So his shop soon got a lot of customers. Ordinary customers just came to taste their favorite flavors (口味). Some of them bought other things to support the store. Charles organized activities, such as reading stories, and providing some other free services for children in return. Sometimes, Charles offered ice cream for free. “You know when they come in, you can see some children with snacks, and some children don’t, so I’m not going to let them disappointed. I just want to do something positive.”
One day, Nicole, one of his visitors, noticed Charles giving children free ice cream. She was surprised to hear that Charles was doing so for a long time. She came back and handed him an envelope with $100 one day. Charles was moved by Nicole’s act, and he posted it on the Internet. The friendly acts of Charles and Nicole also inspired (激励) other ice cream owners in the nearby community to provide free ice cream for children.
“In such a large community, whether you do something negative or positive, everything is easy to propagate (宣传),” Charles said. “We should do what we can to help each other, do something positive, and let our kindness pass on the fire.”
