Children usually say and do things in1 open and honest ways. Sometimes, I think that children have the different ways to see others and the world. However, adults can2 see things in children's ways.
One afternoon, I took my son Michael to the supermarket. 3 we were there, we met an elderly couple. Instead of4 past them, Michael stopped and looked at the old woman in the wheelchair and said, "Hi! I'm Michael. What's your5 ?" The old woman smiled and said she was Molly Smith. We stood there for a few minutes while Michael and Molly were talking6 I told him it was time to say good-bye. He 7 touched the woman's cheek, watched her carefully and said, "Molly, you're my friend. "
It was one of those8 that touched me a lot. The couple seemed really happy and excited when they heard Michael's words. It wasn't the first time he did9 like this. He always seems to know when someone needs that small act of kindness.
What Michael did reminded me to slow down and10 those small ways to show love to someone. You may never know what that smile or small gesture means to someone else.
