Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood. When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him. His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a nice little dog!” Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tiger, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.” Tiger waved its tail happily.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!”

Every day, people pack their things and move to a new place. Why do people move? There are many reasons. Look around you. Do you know someone who has moved? Maybe they came from countryside, or from a nearby city or town. Perhaps they came from another country. It's possible that you moved to the city that you live in now. Let's look at the following important reasons people move.

Jobs

People move to find jobs and a better life. Sometimes, people move from the countryside to cities to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people in China lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities. People find a better way of life in other countries, too. In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to Brazil to work in factories: Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.

_________

When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to area called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls, and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.

New Experiences

Finally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather. Some students go to universities in another country to learn about other places. Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life.
