A lesson in caring
It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy 1 inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she 2 at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my reply. 3 , I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was 4 flying or children playing. But now she was noticing 5 and beggary(贫困).
A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and 6 it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was 7 about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see 8 valuable our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to push 9 to leave the house to get the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge(冲动) to turn 10 . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home.
Why do this? Anyway, we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed(约定). She 11 us right over.
The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a pale-haired woman 12 an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. I saw that the flat belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged(拥抱). I walked home 13 .
Professionals(专家) call such a visit “a volunteer chance”. They are chances and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the chance to do something enjoyable that’s good for others as well as for yourself?

A long time ago, there was a seed(种子) and because he was only a seed, nobody noticed him. Thus, feeling inferior(低等的), the seed gave no importance to his existence(存在).
Then one day, a wind picked him up and threw him on an open field under the sun. Later, he was given rain.
Years later he saw a traveler sitting by his side. “Thank God for this. I really need some rest,” he heard the traveler say.
“What are you talking about?” the seed quickly asked. He thought the man was making fun of him. No one ever spoke to him like that.
“Who just spoke?” the shocked man asked. “It is me. A seed.”
“A seed?” The man looked at the big tree. “Are you joking? You are not a seed. You are a big
tree!”
“Really?” “Yes! Why else do you think people come here?” “What do they come here for?”
“To feel your shade(树荫)! Don’t tell me you didn’t know you had grown over time.” A moment passed before the traveler’s words brought him pride.
The seed thought and smiled for the first time in his life. The years of torture(折磨) by the sun and the rain finally helped him grow up.
“Oh! That means I ’m not a little seed anymore! I was actually born to make people feel comfortable. Wow! That’s great.

①Long long ago, there were two clever boys. Their wonderful talents were obvious from an early age, and they easily outdid everyone around.
②Each of them developed in a different way. The first used all his talent and wisdom to have a successful career and show everyone his superiority(优越). He took part in all kinds of competitions, visited all the most important people and places, and was great at making friends in high places.
③The second boy, equally aware of(知道)his own great abilities, never stopped feeling a heavy duty. He would do almost any task better than those around him, and he would feel obliged(有义务的) to help them. As a result, he was a much-loved and well-known person, but only in his own small circle.
④Destiny(命运)was such that a great disaster hit that land, spreading problems and misery (痛苦) far and wide.

His admirable ways were then accepted across the land, and the fame(名望) of this good and wise man spread even more than that of the first young man had. Indeed, he was soon chosen to be the governor (管理者)of the whole nation.
⑤The first young man then understood the reasons. He never again took part in competitions or charity work and shows, and from then on, whenever he travelled, he took his books along with him, so he would be ready always to offer a helping hand to all.
