【题目】“Do you like doing things for people?”I asked a friend

“Yesmost of the time,”she replied

“Most of the time?”

“WellI love to do things that are unexpectedI like to do little things most people wouldn't think about doing,”she said

“But why did you say most of the time?”

“Well,sometimes after doing those little things people take advantage of youI meanthey expect you to do it againThey ask you to do itThat's when I don't like it

It was odd that I had this conversationThis just happened to meI love to do little thingsI will pay for a meal card for the people in the office every time we have a meeting thereNot a big thingIt's a little thing$5.30 will pay for almost five lunchesHeybig spender!

I also bought a bag of animal crackers for a friend at workShe was having a tough day and not very happy at allI drove down to the Wal-Mart and picked up a huge bag for under $2.00Her smile was worth it

But one week she said,“Bobwe ran out of crackersWe love them so much” I didn't want to do itI smiled and she persistedI finally admitted,“It's different when I do it because I want tobut now you are trying to make me go to get themIt's not the same”But I bought it for her

Unfortunatelya big fire in my family took away all the possessions we hadI didn't know what to do and how to do itWhat happened to me then surprised me mostI once had my bike repairedbut the repairman said “no charge”on hearing my sufferingsA stranger called James Kennedy read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slatethe online magazineand wanted to give us a new house across the lake from New OrleansI refused but I felt movedAnother poet at the University of Florida also wanted to let his house to me free of charge while he was on holidayMy mates gave us more money for us to rebuild my homeWhen you do something kind for othersdo you always get rewarded?
