The Gift of Kindness
Will, a nine-year-old boy, was such a kind soul that he brought home birds with broken wings. Money was very short for his family because his mother was ill. Every weekend, Will would mow his neighbors lawns（草坪）to earn a little money.
One hot dry morning, on his way to school, Will saw a man sitting on the roadside with his head in his hands. Not far away was his truck. Previously, the man spared no efforts in repairing it, but he failed, exhausted and thirsty. Will came up to him, ready to help.
Hearing Will's greeting, the man raised his head, looked at Will and asked. for some water. Learning that he had even not had breakfast, Will walked into a shop, fingering the money in his pocket. Eventually， he picked up sandwiches and water. They cost all his money! He shrugged（耸肩），walked back and handed him the food.
The man received the supplies gratefully and they shared the brief meal while introducing themselves. Allan, a boss with a small factory who delivered goods by himself, smiled," The delivering job is so tiring that nobody seems to want it. By the way, thank you for your food. I'm sorry that I forget to take money with me today. I'll. . "
"It's OK. My mom always says we should be kind to the world, and the world will be kind to you!" Will shrugged," As for the job, don't worry. There must be someone wanting to take it. "
"Perhaps. Today, I feel kindness in the world like your mom says. Maybe she is the one the world has been kind to. "Allan commented.
Will lowered his head, explaining quietly his mother's situation and his father's just being out of work because of the bankrupt （破产） of the company. Will pointed at a house. "My dad says we'll have to sell it to pay for mom's treatment. Sometimes, I hope the world could be kind to our family soon. "Tears rolled down Will's cheeks and Allan patted his back gently. But soon, Will wiped his face, shouldered his school bag, waved goodbye to Allan and rushed for school, never imagining he would see Allan ever again.
Allan stared at Will's fading figure, lost in thought
