A
I drove to a local supermarket one day. My shopping list was long and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week's worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could afford it all.
As I approached the door, I saw an old man with kind eyes and a gentle smile. He said he was collecting (募捐) for a local food bank. He handed me a second shopping list and asked if I could help him. I smiled back, took the list and walked into the store. I really wanted to help but wasn't sure whether I could help this time.
I walked through the store, getting what I needed. When I looked down at my full cart I wondered again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then as I put my own list back into my pocket I remembered the food bank list under it. I smiled. I went over and picked up two of the biggest boxes of rice for the food bank. It took another six dollars out of my wallet, but my heart felt six times larger when I did it. And when everything was totaled, I had just enough to pay.
It takes so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child's hungry belly. A smile and hug can help to heal a broken heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random (随意的) act of kindness can change someone's life. It is up to you, though. You can think of yourself and those close to you while saving a few dollars on rice for people in need.
