Question

Jim, a successful businessman, told a story in his childhood.

When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn't get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one was kind to him.

His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave it enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn't know that an unkind word sometimes could hurt others.

One day, as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly, one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to helpher. "Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy! "she said kindly, with a smile on her face.

A special feeling came to him. Those were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

"Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy! "he repeated the woman's words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, "You are a nice little dog! "Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.

"Uhum! Even dogs like it! "he said. "Well, Tiger, I won't say unkind words to you any more." Tige waved its tail happily.

He looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, Jim stopped for a while, and then he said, "Ladies and gentlemen, that kind woman is the first person who planted the first seed of kindness in me. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!"
