We were very poor. To help support the family, Grandma would go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and then sell them. In this way, Grandma had to spend the whole day in the mountains. After she came back from collecting a lot of wild vegetables, she had to pick them until late night. Early in the morning, my grandma would take the vegetables, walk through the mountain road, and go to the market to sell them.

I hated Grandma digging wild vegetables all day long, because as soon as I finished my homework, I had to help her pick vegetables. And this dirty work often made my fingers black. In that case, no matter how hard I washed my hands, the dirty black color couldn’t be washed away, which made me very upset. My grandma noticed I hated the black color so much; she once suggested using bleach and iron filings (漂白剂和铁屑). It worked. However, it really hurt so I refused to try them again.

One day, something unexpected happened.

“Everyone, you need to invite your parents to school. OK?” the teacher said to us, “the school requires students to bring your parents to school, mainly to discuss your school work.”

Of course it didn’t matter to other classmates, but I… Grandma was the only one who could come to school with me, Hearing what the teacher said, I sighed (叹气) helplessly, “Oh…” The worn-out clothes, the slightly hunched (弓背的) back, and the most terrible thing was the dirty black color on Grandma’s fingers!

I couldn’t tell how worried and frightened I was and I didn’t know what to do. Anyway, I didn’t want the teacher to see the color of my grandma’s fingers. I came home with an unhappy face and said hesitantly (犹豫地): “Well, Grandma, the teacher asked parents to go to school tomorrow.”

One day before Christmas, Nicole went to a supermarket near her home with her mother, Jessica, and her younger brother, Steven, to buy Christmas presents. She bought a very cute little teddy bear (泰迪熊) and she loved it very much.

It was snowing that day, but it soon stopped. And it started to clear up. So they planned to go for a walk along a local river together. It didn’t take long for Steven to start getting bored. He offered to play with his sister’s toy for a while. Nicole happily gave Steven her beloved teddy bear. As soon as Steven got the toy, he started playing with it. He even threw it into the air to show how strong he was. However, Steven threw the teddy bear into the river accidentally. Seeing what happened, Nicole was very sad, crying out loud.

The toy disappeared with the current. It was very cold, so it was impossible to go down to the river to pick up the teddy bear. Steven just stood there silently. Jessica saw the scene, and she knew she had to comfort Nicole and teach Steven a lesson.

With disappointment and sadness, Nicole walked quickly back home. Minutes later, Steven came up with an idea. He urged his mom to reach out to neighbors to see if anyone might be able to help find the toy. “I don’t want to bother anyone. I don’t think anyone would care,” Jessica said. But Steven convinced her to give it a shot. So she included the news in her personal social media and said, “If anyone happens to see the teddy bear in the river, please help us pick it up. My kids will be grateful.” She uploaded a photo of the teddy bear.

A local search and rescue team saw the news and its captain, Adam, decided to help. As hard as it was to believe, a task to rescue the teddy bear was quickly spreading. After several hours of searching, the toy was successfully located, which made the young owner very happy.

After Justin Gordon came back from his last delivery, the kitchen was clean and empty and the lights were off. He was changing his clothes when the restaurant’s landline rang. He wasn’t supposed to answer the phone, but he was afraid it might be his boss, Mr. Kelso. So he picked up the phone and said, “Gourmet Restaurant, may I help you?” An old woman’s voice was on the other side, “I’m so glad you’re still open! I’ve just returned from a long trip and I have no food in the house. I really want to order some dinner!” Justin hesitated for a moment, then he wrote down the woman’s name and address and headed for the kitchen.

Fortunately, Justin was an excellent cook. In fact, his late father was a good chef and his dream was to become another, but he couldn’t afford to enter the Culinary Academy(烹饪学院).

The food was ready soon. He wouldn’t have time to clean up the kitchen if he was to de- liver the food quickly. So he decided to come into work early the next morning. He jumped onto his motorbike and headed for the customer’s address.

A woman in a wheelchair answered the door. “Good evening, Madam, this is a special delivery from Gourmet Restaurant. It is free of charge!” Justin said.

Early the next morning, the first thing for Justin was to clean up the kitchen.

He had nearly finished when Mr. Kelso walked in. “You’re not the chef! You’re allowed in the kitchen only if it’s to pick up deliveries!” he screamed, “you acted against the rule! YOU’RE FIRED!” Justin was close to tears, but he knew that he had broken the rule. There was nothing he could say more.

Mr. Kelso was extremely angry. When he went to dinner at his mother’s that evening, he told her all about it. “Some woman phoned in an order after hours, and he left the kitchen in chaos!” he scoffed, “can you believe it?”

“Yes,” his mother said, “I phoned him, son.”
