One day a man saw an old lady standing by her expensive car, clearly in need of help. So he stopped his old truck and got out. Although he was smiling, the old lady was worried. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe.

The man could see that she was frightened, so in his friendliest voice he said, “I’m here to help you, madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.” Bryan quickly fixed the car and the lady thanked him. Then she asked how much she should pay him.

But Bryan wanted no money. H was just giving a hand to someone in trouble. This was normal for him. He said, “If you really want to repay me, next time you see someone in need, help them and think of me.”

After saying goodbye, the lady continued down the road until she reached a small café where she decided to stop for something to eat. As the pretty waitress took her order, the lady noticed she was nearly eight months pregnant(怀孕). Although the waitress looked tired she was very kind. As he lady was going to pay the $ 10 bill she remembered Bryan’s words.

She paid with a hundred-dollar bill. But when the waitress returned with the change the lady was gone. On the table she saw a small note. There were tears in her eyes when she readit: “Somebody once helped me the way I’m helping you. If you want to pay me back, continue being kind to others.” Under the note were nine more $ 100 bills.

Was the old lady an angel? The waitress was so excited that she called her husband to tell him the news. “Bryan… Bryan Anderson my dear… you’re not going to believe what just happened…”

Eddy was a bully(欺凌弱小者). He loved to show off how smart he was to the boys in his group.

They would stand in front of the school every morning and watch the other children come in. One small boy at the school was called William. They would call out to him "Good morning, Silly willy!"

One day, Eddy said to the other boys, "Watch this. I'll show you how stupid Silly William is!"

He called William and showed him two coins: a large coin worth twenty-five cents and a small coin worth one dollar.

"Which one would you like?" he asked William.

William looked at the two coins.

"Go on," said Eddy. "You can take one and keep it."

William looked at all the other boys. They were all watching him. He took the large coin. Then he went into the school.

Eddy laughed and said to his friends, "He thinks the coin worth twenty-five cents is better because it is bigger. He doesn't realize that the one dollar coin is worth much more. Ha!"

All the boys laughed and talked about how stupid William was.

The next day they did it again, and William chose the large coin again. They all laughed. They continued this trick for several days. Sometimes Eddy did it, and sometimes the other boys in his group did it. But every day William chose the twenty-five cent coin.

After ten days, one of the boys in the group started to feel sorry for William. When he was sure nobody was near, he told William about the trick.

"Eddy and the other boys are tricking you." he said. "They laugh at you because you take the twenty-five cent coin. Even though the one-dollar coin is smaller, it is worth more. Tomorrow take the small coin."

"Don't be silly!" said William. "I've already got ten coins worth twenty-five cents. Now I have got two dollars and fifty cents. If I take the one dollar coin, they'll stop doing it!"
