一个小故事

Once in the ancient Kingdom of Zheng there was a man who wanted to buy himself a pair of shoes. He took the measurement of his own feet with a piece of string. Then he went to the market. He was looking at some shoes at the shoe-maker's when he realized he had left the measurement at home. He put down the shoes and rushed home to fetch it. By the time he returned with the measurement the market had been closed. So he failed to get his shoes.

Somebody asked him, “Why didn't you just try the shoes on your feet?” He answered, “I would rather trust the measurement than my feet.”

A Story: The Kindness of a Stranger

One day, I was walking home from school when I realized I had forgotten my wallet at home. I was worried because I needed to buy a bus ticket to get home. I didn't have any money on me, and my phone was almost out of battery. I felt helpless and didn't know what to do.

As I stood there, a kind stranger approached me. He noticed my distress and asked if I needed help. I explained my situation, and he immediately offered to lend me some money for the bus fare. I was so grateful and thanked him profusely. He just smiled and said, "It's nothing, we all have those days."

After I got home, I made sure to charge my phone and the next day, I went back to the same spot to return the money to the stranger. To my surprise, he was there again, and he was helping another person in need. I gave him back his money and told him how much his kindness meant to me. He just nodded and said, "Pass it on."

From that day on, I decided to always carry some extra change with me, just in case I could help someone else the way that stranger had helped me. It was a small act, but it made a big difference in my life.

一个小故事：陌生人的善良

有一天，我从学校回家的路上意识到我把钱包忘在家里了。我需要买公交车票回家，但我身上没有钱，而且手机电量也快耗尽了。我感到无助，不知道该怎么办。

就在我站在那里的时候，一个善良的陌生人走向了我。他注意到了我的困扰，问我是否需要帮助。我解释了我的情况，他立刻提出借给我一些钱买公交车票。我非常感激，连声道谢。他只是微笑着说：“没什么，我们都有那样的日子。”

我回家后，确保给手机充了电。第二天，我回到那个地方，想要把钱还给那个陌生人。令我惊讶的是，他又在那里，正在帮助另一个需要帮助的人。我把钱还给他，并告诉他他的善良对我意味着什么。他只是点了点头，说：“传递下去。”

从那天起，我决定总是随身携带一些零钱，以防我也能像那个陌生人帮助我一样帮助别人。这是一个小举动，但它在我的生活中产生了巨大的影响。
