The next morning, he began to where he should plant it.
“If I plant it on the hill,” he said to himself, “the wind might catch it and down the fruit; If I plant it close to the road, people who pass by will pick some of them; but if I plant it…”

Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble?
One day, two ___ were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very __ . They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we will help carry your basket.”
“Thank you,” ___ the woman. “You are very kind. You see I’m weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was now going to market to __ the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.
“We are all going to the ___ ,” said the boys. “Let us carry the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked ___ with the heavy basket, but happily.
The other day, I saw a little girl stop and __ a piece of banana peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶). “I wish ___ would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”
Perhaps some may say that these are not __ things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a kind heart. We must not wait for the __ to do great things. We must begin with little things of love.
