Bread and flowers
    2021-02-24  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

On September 1, the first day of the school year, many parents were waiting outside of the school gates to pick up their children from school. As my parents were busy with their work, I took up the responsibility to pick up my little brother from school as I usually did.

When I was waiting for my brother, I saw him carry a bag and run out of the campus. Then I waved to him. He saw me, but did not come to me. Instead, he went to the store nearby. I was curious but worried, so I followed. I saw him take out the 10 yuan that my father gave him in the morning to buy a loaf of bread and a carton of milk. I thought that he must be hungry, so I waited. Unexpectedly, my brother went out from the store and trotted to the other side of the school gate. When I was going to blame him for running so fast, I saw that he gave the food to an aged lady who was cleaning the school gate. Suddenly, I understood the case. I watched in silence and smiled.

Soon came Teachers’ Day. Students usually buy flowers for the teachers to thank them for their teaching. In the evening, my brother came into my room and said: “Sister, can you guess what happened to me today?” I was interested and asked what happened to him. He said with a smiling face with his small eyes narrowing into a line: “That aged lady helped me today! I forgot to bring the flowers today, so I went to the school empty-handed. Several days earlier, I helped an aged lady, and today she gave me a small bouquet of flowers and asked me to give them to my teacher. The teacher was pleased and gave me a candy.”

My brother was excited and showed me the candy. At that moment, I looked at him with pleasure and thought: We must be kind, grateful, and try what we can to help others when they are in trouble; similarly, if others help us, we should also be grateful.
