When a woman took the seat beside me on a plane, I felt uncomfortable. She had to lower herself slowly, trying her best to fit into the small space.

“My name is Kelly. I’m from Canada. Where are you from?” She said as she waved to me. “China,” I said as I shook her hand reluctantly (不情愿地).

Kelly kept talking to me. She was very thoughtful. When we were served drinks and meals, she made sure that I had enough room in my seat.

“I don’t want to make you uncomfortable with my elephant size!” she said sincerely. I couldn’t help but let down my guard.

As we talked, I was surprised by what she said. She had read many books and was very smart. I asked her if she ever thought about losing some weight.(减肥)

“Aren’t you worried about the diseases that come with being overweight (超重) ?”

“Not at all. I eat healthy and walk regularly,” she said. “I believe in my heart, the people who get diseases are because they worry too much. But I never worry about my weight. I am free to be myself. As the saying goes: You’re free only if you’re comfortable with who you are!”

I suddenly realized that Kelly was the most beautiful and cleverest woman I had ever met in my life.
