Yesterday my son and I went to the grocery store. In front of us was a little girl with her mother. The little girl was asking her mother for a box of Smarties. The polite way she was asking broke the mother’s heart. “I’m sorry, honey, but we have no money to buy it.”

As he watched the mother and daughter leave the , he ran to the candy counter and bought a box of Smarties with his money. Then he ran out after the little girl and her mother, and gave them the . He came back and told me what he told them, “Every kid should have a pack of Smarties because they can make you .”

It began a year ago, around Christmas. Every time I drove down our street, I an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy.
One day, while I was driving past him with my , I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. , when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.
“ did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.
I told her it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a , but next time she would try it as well.
We liked close to the old man, we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started at everyone who passed by his house.
One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very . She mentioned that she waved back, although she didn’t know , and it felt really good.
As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the of how all the waving began. Her friend answered: “Tell your mom that’s really cool!”
Other friends gave similar . This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and , if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to the giver and the receiver.
Moved by the old man’s actions, we’re planning to give our waving neighbor a thank-you card to express our for his exciting waves. We are really thankful for him sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.

Today ,I want to tell you a story about something I did when I was 14 years old. I made some friends in school they turned out to be bad. They were some boys who stole（偷盗） and sold them. Whenever we were stealing a bike , a boy named John would break the lock two other boys were watching out. Then one of us would the bike to a cave （洞穴）. The next day ,we would meet there and repaint the bike. When we stole four or five bikes ,we would sell them a few hundred dollars.
One afternoon ,we went to an apartment in Bukit Batok. We found a bike on the fifth floor and started to work on the . It was hard to break. We spent 10 minutes it. We were about to escape with the bike when the owner of the bike came out of the elevator. “ My bike !” he .
We dropped the bike and ran down but two policemen nearby us. We were taken to the police station. Our parents were called and our teachers were told what had happened. The police took down what we had done. The next day ,a bright Sunday, I to the Boys’ Home.
Life in the Boys’ Home was very hard but it me a very important lesson. I learnt that stealing was not right. At the Boys’ Home ,the officers helped me and encouraged me my ways. I decided to stealing.
To this day , I feel so for what I have done. I hope you will learn something from my story.
