Now throwing shoes at President Bush is a popular game on the Internet. It turns out that there are times when it’s good to throw shoes.
After leaving his office in the center of the city, a young man bought a new car and drove it from the city to his home. He was very happy and the car ran very fast. Suddenly, a shoe hit the car door . The man got very angry. He jumped out of the car and caught a boy who still had a shoe in his hand.
“Who are you? Why did you do that?” the young man shouted at the boy.
“I’m sorry. But I don’t know what else to do. My sister has been hurt. I cried for help but nobody stopped,” the boy said.
The man looked around and saw a girl by the road. Her leg was bleeding(流血).
“She is my sister. She wanted to cross the road but fell out of her wheelchair. She is too heavy for me. I can’t get her back into the wheelchair. ”The man was moved. He helped the bleeding girl back into her wheelchair.
“Thank you. You’re so kind,” said the little boy. Life speaks to our hearts. Sometimes we don’t have time to listen and it will throw a shoe at us.
