  It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain for almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. If we didn’t see some rain soon,we would lose everything.

  I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son,Billy,walking towards the woods. He was obviously walking with great effort. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,towards the house.

  Moments later,however,he was once again walking towards the woods. This activity went on for over an hour： walking cautiously to the woods,then running back to the house. Finally,my curiosity got the best of me. I went out of the house and followed him on his journey.

  He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked,being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns (荆棘) slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them. As I leaned in to spy on him,I saw the most amazing site.

  Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering from the heavy loss of water,lifting its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boy’s hands.

  I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart working so hard to save a life. As my tears began to hit the ground,they were suddenly joined by other drops...and more drops... and more. I looked up at the sky.  It was as if God,himself,was weeping with pride.

  In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other ani?mals. This sometimes happens with humans,too. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

  From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don't get to see this soft side of others. Often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them. 

  Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feet unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get im?patient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇口八) or even shouting at me. At that moment,I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

  No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to the other drivers, "I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can. ”And everyone under?stood. Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting im?patient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

  Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we're brave when we're scared.
