　　Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage．For Nigel, studying was a piece of cake．The reward was certainly much bigger compared to the little effort Nigel had made．It all began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories．And the peak of his school career came not when he topped the class but when he was selected for the nationwide competition．

　　Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join in the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets(乐高积木)and making something out of them．Nigel spent two months building his robot．It was during the time that Nigel found out about the big prize for the competition as well as a competitive rival(对手), Alicia, from a neighboring school．His early intentions were forgotten．Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else．Nigel decided to make friends with Alicia．Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition．He even helped her to put the finishing touches(收尾工作)to her robot．He was glad with the way things had progressed．His robot looked even better than Alicia's and it was able to play a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do．

　　On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia．Everything became clear the minute she saw him among the competitors．She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her．

　　The flashbulbs(闪光灯)of the camera exploded in Nigel's face．The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists' judgments were the same．Nigel was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him．Without her, he would never have won the competition．

　　Not all the spectators, however, came out looking exactly good．Girls holding umbrellas on beach volleyball stands．Spectators crying sharply during the hockey matches．These can be unintended disturb．To avoid them, we'd keep in mind some special manners：

Beach volleyball

Cycling & marathon

　　Grandpa Nybakken loved life－especially when he could play a trick on somebody．At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn’t laughing．

　　Grandpa worked as a carpenter．On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad．On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone．He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church．His search proved fruitless．

　　Suddenly, he realized what had happened．The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut．His brand new glasses were heading for China!

　　The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children．He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning．

　　“It’s not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration．“I’ve been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this．”

　　Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States．He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather’s small church in Chicago．Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation(教堂会众)．

　　“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year．”

　　“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses．Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this．Then your boxes arrived．When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top．” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”

　　The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses．But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas．

　　But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way．
