19、Manners are much more than just saying “please” and “Thank you”．They are ways of showing kindness．

    My husband Bob is a pilot．One day we were invited to a party at his flying squadron(飞行中队). The noisy room was filled with naughty kids and their chatting moms and dads．Our youngest son，Daniel, was only 2 years old．We let Daniel play with the other kids．

    After a while，he came back with a package of peanut butter biscuits and proudly held them out to us．A pilot who asked “Do you know whose this little boy is?” followed him．

    “Yes，it is mine，”I answered，wondering what he may have done．

    “Well，”replied the pilot，“I’ve been passing out the biscuits to the kids for the last two hours，and your son is one of the youngest guys I gave them to．He was the only one who said ‘thank you．’ What he did makes me pleased．”

    Daniel smiled and proudly repeated，“Thank you．”
