Once, a circle lost a piece of its own.The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around, looking for its piece.But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滚) very slowly.It enjoyed the flowers and the sunshine the way.It talked with worms.It found lots of different pieces, but of them fit.So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on for the lost piece.Then one day the circle found a piece that fit .The circle put the piece into .It could be whole with nothing lost.It was so happy and began to roll.As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk to worms.It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly.It felt so sad it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled very slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something.A man who everything is poor in some ways.He will never have hopes, dreams or something .He will never know someone loves him or someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn’t be perfect.But we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to share with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always have a wonderful time in our life.

Will you put other’s needs before your own?What will you get if you do?Here is an experience of mine.
It was a wet day and I had a time. I was busy and everyone I talked to was in a bad mood. What’s more，I went out without breakfast and I left my at home. So I couldn’t get lunch and was terribly hungry.
When I finshed my work，I to ask my wife to meet me at the door with some money so that I could quickly go to buy .Then I quickly made my way home in hope of eating my meal of the day at 5：00 p.m.
As I was halfway home，my wife told me by phone that a friend of ours was in and needed a lift（搭便车）home. My mind said，“I will get him I get the meal.”But my mouth said，“All right,I’ll give him a .”
He jumped in the car with a smile on his face and repeated how he was that I would drive him home. He told me he usually walked home from his company but that day the stopped him from making that journey.
Traffic was a . A drive to him normally took 10 minutes but that day it took 30 minutes.
Now you would guess the person that I was helping is a friend of mine. But，in fact，he is a friend of a friend.
I wonder if I will ever see this person again but I feel glad I was there when he
me.
So you will feel yourself helpful and useful when you more about others.
