It is every kid’s worst nightmare (梦魔) and six-year-old Jaden Hayes has lived it twice. First, he ______ his dad when he was four and then last month his mom died unexpectedly, ______ him an orphan (孤儿).

Jaden is understandably heartbroken. But there’s another side to his ______. A side he first made ______ 3 weeks ago when he told his friends that he was tired of seeing some people sad all the time. And he had a plan to ______ it.

Here is how it all ______. Jaden asked his aunt to buy a bunch of little ______ and take him to downtown Savannah to give them away. He ______ people who aren’t already smiling and then turns their day around, expecting ______ in return—but a smile.

So far he has gone out on four different occasions and ______ nearly 500 smiles. Sometimes he doesn’t get exactly the ______ he was hoping for: it simply confuses some people ______ a six-year-old would give them a toy. They ______ to behave awkwardly: stepping back or giving a ______ smile. In most cases, however, he will be paid ______ in hugs. Those good reactions have worked wonders: the more people that he made smile, the more ______ came out of him.

For Jaden, he would ______ his parents with each passing day. ______ he is a little fighter; he chooses to ______ his life with a smile.

The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan!” We’re friends.

“I’d rather pay,’’ I replied. “If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

Chinese often refuse payment for professional services .insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English,or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that there’s a price for everything. And I’m always looking around to figure out what this means. Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.

I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind (磨) flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he and his uncle in the countryside had carved from a solid block of stone.

Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements (纠纷) and just hand over the money. But cash can’t compensate (补偿) for the greatest gift—friendship.

When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping (呷) tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”

And I joined the group. When chatting about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived, one man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now they’re taller than you. How time flies !.”

How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive. So the next time someone says, “No charge. We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.
