It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2011. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After working for ten hours, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike, a black Kona l8 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks lo support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货)．saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.1 was so sad that someone would steal our bike that l wrote to the newspaper and told them our story.

    Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It's really fantastic that a complete stranger would offer help to someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a great effect in our lives. And we believe that no matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

In a school some trouble was caused by the students. They are very naughty and didn't obey the school rules.They often fought with each other and they didn't forgive each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up with a good idea.

He told each of his students to bring a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn't want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person's name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.

Some of their bags were very heavy. They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when sitting in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags around with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. * And they had to pay attention to it all the time so they didn't forget it or leave it in embarrassing (令人难堪的) places. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and smelt nasty.

Too often we think of tolerance as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! * If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on well with each other and didn't fight anymore. Learn to forgive (原谅), and you will be happier at the same time.
