What do your parents do?Are they busy every day?How do they make time to be with you?What do you expect from them?
One day,a father was doing some work when his son came and asked, "Dad,can I ask you a question?How much do you make an hour?"
His father got a bit upset and replied, "Why do you ask such a thing?" The boy said, "I just want to know.Please tell me." His father then said that he made about $50 an hour.
"Oh," the little boy replied with his head down.Looking up,he said, "Dad,can I please borrow﹩30?" The father got angry and complained(抱怨), "If the only reason you asked about my pay is that you can borrow some money to buy a useless toy,then you'd better go back to your room.I work hard every day and I do not like this rude behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and closed the door.After about an hour or so,the man calmed down.He went to the boy's room and opened the door. "Are you sleeping,son?" he asked. "No Dad,I'm awake," the boy replied. "I've been thinking — maybe I was too hard on you earlier," his father said. "Here's the $30 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up with a smile.Then,reaching under his pillow,he took out ﹩20 that he had hidden away.The man became furious again.The little boy slowly counted out his money,then looked up at his father and said, "Dad,I have $50 now.Can I buy an hour of you time?Please come home early tomorrow.I would like to have dinner with you."

3.That day was Random Acts of Kindness Day.
A random act of kindness is usually unexpected and unplanned.Maybe help someone carry groceries(雜貨).Maybe pay for a stranger's coffee.Or maybe send a helpful note to a friend.
I remembered,at a shopping mall,I saw a man sitting on the ground with a sigh,said"Please help."
I often give $20 to people like him,but now I decided to invest(投入) some time as well.I stopped and said,"Come on,brother.Pick up your things and let's get you some groceries."
As we walked back into the mall,I learned that he had a place to live,but no money to buy food.
Anyhow,he shared his story and I still wanted to help him.We started with some fruit and vegetables.He chose some tomatoes first,then got some carrots and onions.I asked him what else he wanted,he said meat.
He told me he had two boys,a big pack of noodles went in the basket.He also asked if he could get some toothbrush,of course,fine.
I was not sure exactly what had happened to this man,but his smile was genuine(真誠的).He only took what he really needed.I know I won't do this all the time,as I can't afford to do so.But treating people with dignity(尊嚴),kindness and compassion is important.Helping others is a good way to help the world,even in just a small way.We often feel as thought here's nothing we can do to make the world better.But that's just not true.
