1 . One day a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car, clearly in need of help. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.

The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.

But Bryan wanted no money. He was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said,“ If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and think of me.”

After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small cafe where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant (怀孕的). Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As the lady was going to pay the $10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.

She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she read it: “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others.” Under the note were nine more $100 bills.

Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell him the news.“Bryan Anderson my dear... you’re not going to believe what just happened...”

You can’t buy many things with a dollar these days. But if everybody gives a dollar, wonderful things may happen. That’s the theory (原理) behind Anthony Talley’s $1 Thursday campaign (活动).

1. 安东尼是一个善良的人，并且他总是乐于助人。 In 2020, a man’s house fell down in a fire and he lost everything. To help the man build a new house, Anthony went around the town to ask people to donate (捐赠) just one dollar each. People were warm-hearted and they gave the money. 2. At last, Anthony got 8,000 dollars and helped the man successfully. 3. He learned one dollar could play such a great part in people’s life. From then on, he decided to have a weekly activity. He asked people to donate one dollar to help people in need every Thursday. “4. 这项活动使人们快乐。 And their happy faces make me feel good about myself,” Anthony said.   

Anthony plans to help more people by $1 Thursday in the future. He said, “5. The world will be much better if we all try to help, even with small things.”

Later in the evening, my husband asked how my work went. “It was so much     4    ,” I said. “We were quite a pair. When Taylor kissed and whispered to the ladies, it made them     5     happy that they wanted him to go again next week.”

“What did you whisper about?” asked my husband.

Looking up at his dad and me     6     his lovely brown eyes, our son told us “I whispered, ‘I love you, Grandma! And I just want you to know that you look so beautiful today.’”

8 . I can’t miss the little old lady with her kerchief (方头巾) on her head, a black umbrella blowing all over. I can tell she is freezing. She is standing at a bus stop, and I’m driving by, late for my early morning shift. I decide to stop and offer her a ride.

Of course, she declines, but when I ask again and insist, finally, she gets in the car. I take her to her destination, and by the time she gets out of my car, she is smiling and thanks me. I was late for work that day, but I was so glad that I stopped. That was 40 years ago, and the beginning of a new habit, one that continues when I’m out driving in bad weather.

If there’s someone at a bus stop, especially if it’s an elderly person waiting at off hours and in bad weather, I will pull over and ask if they need a ride.

Once, a young doctor jumped in. She had finished a long shift and had been waiting and waiting at the bus stop. She had no hesitation and, for the first time, I was able to help someone who performs miracles (奇迹) on a daily basis. That felt good.

But the best part of my ride offers is the conversation. I do tend to ask a lot of questions: where are you from, where are you going, family, background, pets and whatever else comes to mind. Surprisingly, everyone wants to chat. We are usually laughing by the time the ride is over. “What a shame!” I often think when they hop out, as the stories were just getting started.

Now, as retirement (退休) approaches, I believe I have found my calling. I will be happy to join a community driving program to take people to one appointment or another-or perhaps just to the coffee shop to sit and listen for an hour.

As the years pass, perhaps I will be the one standing at the bus stop. Perhaps there will be somebody who rolls down a window and offers me a seat for a little ride. I will continue to take that leap of faith in the kindness of strangers.
