A priest (神父) lived with his small white cat. One day, the cat climbed up a tree and was afraid to come down. The priest called its name and gave it its favorite drink, warm milk, but the cat still didn't come down. So the priest decided to tie a rope (拴一根绳子) between his car and the tree. He thought as he drove, the tree would bend down (弯曲) and he could get the cat. He did so. But he drove too far, and the rope broke.
The tree went "boing!" and the cat at once went through the air. The priest couldn't see it. He felt terrible. He walked around the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen his cat. But nobody had seen it. At last, he said, "God (上帝), I just give this cat to your keeping."
A few days later, he met one of his church members' (教会成员) in a shop. He saw cat food in her shopping bag. This woman disliked cats and everyone knew it, so he asked her in surprise, "Why are you buying cat food?"
She replied, "My little girl always wanted a cat, but I kept refusing. Then a few days ago, she asked again. I told her if God gave her a cat, she could keep it. She went out of the .house and said something to the sky. Then suddenly .a cat flew out of the blue sky and landed in front of her. "
The priest smiled and said, "How lucky your little girl is!" Then he went on shopping.

When I was about 6 years old, I lived in Kenya. On the roads, there were always street children asking for money. There was such a big difference between those children and me. At least I didn't have to worry about my living.
My family had a wonderful driver, John, who had been working for us for years. He took me to and from school. One day, when we stopped in busy traffic (交通), a young street child went to us and called, "Hi, John!"
John then gave him a little money and said goodbye to him with a smile before we went on to school. I was quite surprised. I knew that John worked hard to make money. He had a large family himself. We always sent food and clothes to his family. I couldn't understand why he gave money to the child.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"My friend," he replied. "Sometimes I see him on my way to work and I give him a little money."
I was still unable to understand, so I asked, "Why do you give him money?"
John replied, "So he can use it to buy some food."
At that moment (瞬间q) I understood what kindness really was.
Every Friday my grandfather gave me chocolates. I would save (保留) some so I could give them to John' s friend on the weekend.
