It"s easy to see how to help others, but what about those whose needs aren"t so obvious? This story
may have happened a while back, but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the poor. We stood behind
the counter dishing out hot food to whoever came in. most of our dinners looked like they had been
having hard times, their clothes old, worn and dry. In short, they looked poor!
Then, a man came in, who looked anything but poor. He was well dressed, wearing an expensive suit.
I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station, the more I muttered. What was this man doing? I wanted to
know. Surely he wasn"t gong to take food.
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, "You have assumed that the needs of the
people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, inadequate shelter and needs are emotional?
What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?" her words hit me like a ton
of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man, but I didn"t.
About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can"t help but
wonder if it came from that man.
Now, whether I meet others, I remember my mother"s words and try to send kindness and blessings
to them, regardless of how they look.
Needs aren"t always visible. But kindness always makes a difference. |

My mother is a diligent and kind woman. She is very busy from morning till night. As a teacher, she
works hard. 1 Both my brother and I love her dearly as she loves us.
My mother has been teaching math at a middle school in my hometown. She goes to work early in the
morning and does not return home until late in the afternoon. 2 She treats them with patience and
teaches them well. For her excellent quality and very good teaching results, she has been elected as a
model teacher several times.
3 . Every day, when she comes back home from work, she sets about doing housework, sweeping
the living room and bedrooms or cleaning the furniture, and putting everything in good order. She seems
to be busy all the time. As she has been very busy working every day, she looks older than her age. But
she looks as cheerful and happy as ever. Mother never buys expensive dresses for herself, but she often
buys some inexpensive but high quality clothes for us. 4 She just eats a plain meal outside when she is
too busy to cook herself. She lives a busy yet simple life, without any complaints.
Often she says to us, "work while you work, and play while you play. That is the way to be happy
and gay. If you do not work, you will become lazy and be of no use to society". What a piece of good
advice this is! 5 . This advice of hers will always serve as a guide to my behavior. My mother is great

in the world on the wall of his palace.
So the king said,"All right,you may work on one of the walls in the new hall."
Just then,another artist said, "Please allow me to work on the opposite wall. I shall make
exactly what that man will make on the opposite wall. Moreover,I shall do so without looking
at his work. I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between the two walls so
that either of us cannot see the other."
Everyone in the king"s court,including the king and the first artist was intrigued. So the king
decided to give the second artist a chance.
The following day,a thick curtain was put in place and both the artists got to work. The first
artist brought a regular supply of paint,oil and water. But the second one would come with a cloth
and a bucket of water every day.
A month later the first artist said that his work was completed and invited the king to come.
So the king sent a message to the second artist,saying he was coming to see their works that
evening.
After seeing the first artist"s wall,the king was very impressed with the painting and gave him
a huge sum of money as a reward. He then asked some people to remove the curtain.
The same painting was seen on the opposite wall too! It was exactly like the one on the first
wall. But the second artist had not seen what was going on, on the other side of the curtain.
The king gave the second artist a double reward,and then asked,"I am indeed very happy with
your work. But how did you do it?"
The man said simply,"It"s very easy!I just polished(擦亮) the wall every day!"
It was a wall made of white marble(大理石)! The fellow polished it till it shone like a mirror.
