This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.
It was at two o'clock in the morning.We just came out of a club and were trying to find our 1 back to our city.As we were trying to 2 the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us 3 it was.Although we were a little 4 , we had no choice but follow him.He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.
When we passed some city workers 5 the streets, they sprayed(喷溅)the homeless man.Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the 6 if they were "in the way".I didn't know why they would do that.They were human beings, 7 , not cattle or objects.
This man had just gotten 8 in the middle of a cold night, but 9 shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you 10 if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It's 11 use shouting at them, because they just get angry.You're better off saying something from the 12 ."
It is 13 ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger 14 , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.
He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything.We 15 him and told him that we 16 have never found the place on our own.He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were 17 , someone would help him."
Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways. 18 , this man taught us kindness.There was 19 we could really do to repay him.The only thing I hope to do is to 20 other people out.
Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together.Like pairs of dogs you 1 find in any neighborhood, these two 2 each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their own houses.
One evening, Brownie's family 3 that Brownie hadn't returned home.They went looking for him with no 4 Brownie didn't appear the next day, and despite(尽管)their 5 to find him, by the next week he was still missing.Curiously, Spotty 6 at Brownie's house alone, barking.Busy with their own lives, Brownie's family just ignored the 7 little neighbor dog.Finally, one morning Spotty 8 to take “no” for an answer any longer.He followed Ted about, barking strongly, then running towards a nearby wood, as if to say," 9 me! It’s urgent!”
Then Ted followed the anxious Spotty.The little dog led the man to a 10 spot a half mile from the house.There Ted found his beloved Brownie 11 but one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg-hold trap.Horrified, Ted now wished he'd taken Spotty's earlier requirement 12 Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.Spotty had done more than simply 13 Brownie's owner to his trapped friend.In a circle around the 14 dog, Ted found some dog food, which was later 15 as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that 16 ! Spotty had been visiting Brownie 17 in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort.Spotty had obviously 18 with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎)with him at night to keep him warm and touching him gently with its nose to keep his 19 up.Brownie's leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered.For many years afterward, the two 20 watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戏)and chasing each other down that well worn path between their houses.
