There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs. Thompson.She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same.But that was a lie.There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard.He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath.She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother.Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself.She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present, too.It was his mother’s perfume(香水)
Teddy said ,“Mrs. Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.”After the children left , she cried for at least an hour.On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math.Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy.The boy’s mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved.By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy.He wrote that he had finished high school and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life.He went to college.Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed: Theodore Stoddard ,M.D.(医学博士).
The story doesn’t end there.On his wedding day, Dr.Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear ,“Thank you, Mrs.Thompson, for believing in me.You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”
Mrs.Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back ,“ Teddy, you have it all wrong.You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference.I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

He came again the next day and worked until it was time to leave. His name was Jerry. He was 12 and had been at the Children's Home(孤儿院)since he was only four. \ I thought of him. He was honest(诚实). For example, the handle (柄) of the ax (斧)broke one day. Jerry said the Children's Home would mend it. I handed him some money to pay for it. He wouldn't take the money. "I'll pay for it, mama. I broke it. I didn't hit the wood in the right place. "

"But Jerry, no one hits the wood in the right place all the time. And it was a weak handle. I'll speak to the seller. " It was only then that he would take the money.

Another thing about Jerry was that he would do those little but helpful things. The things would not be badly needed but would make life so much easier. For example, he found a hole near the fireplace. "I'll put some wood in the hole, mama. Then when a sudden storm(暴风雨)comes up, you can stay warm. "

One cold day, Jerry sat close by me near the fire. We watched the fire bum. He suddenly talked of something he had never talked of before. "You look like my mother, especially(特别) next to the fire"
