Joshua Coombes' trip to Washington, D.C. was unusual. He did not go to the popular places of interest. He went to the train station. Many homeless people were outside the station. Most people walked by without paying any attention to them. Coombes, however, walked up to them. He talked with them and then gave them haircuts for free.
Homelessness is common in many Western cities. Coombes knew he couldn't solve everyone's problems. But the hairdresser has his way of spreading (传播) love. Something small, like a haircut, can sometimes go a long way, he says. It makes a person feel better.
Coombes travels around the world. Every time he meets a homeless person, he gives him or her a haircut. Over the past two years, he has served hundreds of homeless people. People often talk to their hairdressers about their lives. Homeless people do, too. Coombes likes hearing their stories.
The hairdresser says that these days, people are spending too much time on the Internet. Real life, however, is not on our screens. Coombes hopes more people will join him in spreading a little love. There are many other things we can do to help make this world a better place.
