Question

Sometimes, it is great fun to show people that they are important through some acts of kindness. My daughter Cindy, an 8-year-old girl, was kind of shy in the past, but one thing makes her become very active and outgoing.

Last month, Cindy felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so I took her to the hospital. When we were waiting outside the waiting room, we saw a lady standing just beside us. She was very depressed and worried. I didn’t know her, so I said nothing to her. However, Cindy gave a smile card to the lady and said, “I hope everything goes well with you.” It brought tears to the lady’s eyes. She hugged Cindy and said nothing. Later, Cindy gave out five more smile cards that day.

Last Monday, I did some shopping with Cindy in a supermarket. After we bought what we wanted, we went to the counter (t柜台). To my surprise, I couldn’t find my wallet and I didn’t know what to do. Cindy was so worried that she wanted to cry. At that time, a lady came to us and paid for us. Oh, she was the lady to whom Cindy gave a smile card in the hospital. I said “thank you” to her. She said, “I was moved by your daughter’s kindness.”

Now we have always enjoyed helping people and smile cards are a good tool to do more. Of course, what we have done has changed my daughter’s personality (性格).
