On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little tired because she was carrying her shopping bags. They were so heavy that she had to have a rest in the park. She walked towards the gate of the park. She noticed a poor man walking out of a restaurant in front of her. The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin(垃圾箱)and started looking through it.

Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get, so she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in surprise and took the fruit.

A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy. They he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then the orange juice, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, girl.” Then he went away, singing a song.

Just then, Susan understood what the saying “Giving is getting.” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help and everyone can offer help.

Best Trip I've Ever Had

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language? We need your help.”

Clara, a fifteen-year-old girl at the time, pressed the call button. An air hostess came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf,” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm. So she rose from her seat, walked toward the front of the plane, and knelt(跪)by the seat of Tim Cook, a sixty-four man. Gently taking his hand, she signed, “How are you? Are you OK?" Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat.

She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed for a while. “He didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk, ”Clara said.

So, for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans for the future. Cook told Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman.

"Even though he couldn't see her, she looked attentively(聚精会神地)at his face with such kindness, ”a passenger reported.

“Clara was amazing, ”an air hostess told Alaska Airlines in a blog interview. “You could tell Cook was very excited to have someone he could speak to, and she was such an angel.”
