I will never forget one thing, mainly because I learned the meaning of kindness then.
A few years ago, I went running on a 16 day. It was my favorite activity because the 17 were so clean when it rained. 18 , I saw an old man with 19 clothes picking cans out of a rubbish bin. When I ran past him, I didn’t know 20 I should give him my umbrella. As I was thinking, I was still 21 . But I finally decided to give him my umbrella, as I knew he needed the umbrella much more than I needed it, 22 I ran back, gave him the umbrella and said, “You 23 this more than I do.” To my 24 , he took it with a big smile on his face and repeated, “Thank you! Thank you! God bless you.” I hadn’t expected he would 25 it so much. I walked away feeling 26 . I turned back one last minute and 27 him still smiling. “It was just an umbrella,” I thought, not 28 that it was the 29 that made him happy. He might feel that he wasn’t 30 in the world.
A few weeks later, when I was running on the same street on a bright sunny day, I 31 the same man who was in the same clothes sitting down resting. The only 32 was my umbrella right beside him, looking like he 33 it. It was very clean and neatly placed. At that moment, I realized it didn’t 34 that I couldn’t give him a house or a job.

Robby was 11 when his mother dropped him off for his first piano lesson. I prefer students begin at an earlier age. Robby insisted that it had always been his mother’s dream to hear him play the piano, so I took him in as a student.
Robby tried and tried while I listened and encouraged him and gave him more instructions (指导). But he just did not have any inborn ability.
I only saw his mother from a distance. She always waved and smiled but never came in. Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons. I thought about calling him but I guessed he had decided to try something else.
I was also glad that he stopped coming for the sake of my career. However, several weeks before the recital (演奏会) of my students, Robby came，telling me that he never stopped practicing and begged me to allow him to take part. I agreed but I made him perform last in the program, so I could always save his poor performance through my “curtain closer”.
I was surprised when he announced that he had chosen one piece of Mozart’s. Never had I heard a piece of Mozart’s played so well by someone at his age. When he finished, everyone was cheering.
I ran up and put my arms around Robby in joy. “I’ve never heard you play like that, Robby! How’d you do it?”
“Well, Miss Hondorf. Do you remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she died this morning. She was born deaf so tonight was the first time she could hear me play. I wanted to make it special. I knew I could.” That night, Robby was the teacher and I was the student. He taught me so many important things about life.
