【题目】It was the Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind.

In 2008, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up(养育) my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.

Unluckily, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I was new in London, I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to talk with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the bed for two days, I went out to get some food. Usually, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.

I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, ‘You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right?’

I said YES in a low voice.

She pointed at the salami (腊肠) and bread I was buying and offered, ‘I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself.’

I nodded without saying a word.

So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.

‘It will warm you up,’ she said with a friendly smile.

What really warmed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared me. Her kindness(善良) made me think of my mother.

I was quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness stop me from talking with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children’s hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.
