One sunny Monday, I decided to go for a walk with my husband. I was wearing a special diamond (钻石) ring that day. It was my 20th birthday gift from my grandmother.
As we were walking in the park, I unintentionally looked down at my hand and found the diamond on my ring was missing. I was really worried so I went back to look for it. I knew how small the chances were of finding it, but I still wanted to give it a try.
As I was fixing my eyes on the ground, I ran into an old gentleman by accident. “What’s wrong, love?” he asked nicely. “Sorry that I ran into you,” I said,“But I lost something. I’m really worried.”I explained about the missing diamond and showed him the hole in my ring. “That’s not going to be easy to find it,” he said. “Tell you what, love, I take a walk here every day. I’ll keep my eyes open for it.” I thanked him expecting nothing.
A few days later, my husband and I met the old man again in the park.“Guess what,” he said. “I found your diamond!” I couldn’t believe what I saw when the gentleman handed the diamond back to me. Then my husband offered him money for his help, but he refused.
The old man could have easily kept the diamond or sold it, as it’s worth several thousand dollars. But he didn’t. All I have to do is to look at my ring and remind myself that there are still kind and generous souls out there. Now thanks to this man, I'll spend more time trying to do something nice for other people.

One day, I took my daughter to the playground in the park. As soon as we got there, my daughter ran to the swing and asked for a push(推).
When I was helping my daughter, I saw another girl trying to make her own swing go high by herself. Her old grandmother was sitting on the chair nearby and smiled at me.
I gave my daughter one big push and then walked to the little girl. I asked if she wanted me to give her a push. She smiled and said “Yes”. For the next two hours, I pushed the swings, and played with my daughter and the little girl. When we went home, I was very tired. But my heart was flying much higher than the swings.
One day two years later, I was a little tired after working for eight hours. But I needed to pick up my daughter before going home. While I was waiting outside the school gate, a little girl came over and smiled sweetly at me. She was the girl I helped in the park. She gave me a big hug(拥抱) before catching her school bus. As I watched her running away, I didn’t feel tired any more.
In life, the love we give others will find its way back to us! The love we share, the kindness we give, and the happiness we create(创造) will always come back to us with a pleasant surprise.

Little Anna is 5 years old. One day, she was invited to one of her friends’ birthday party. But she didn’t have a suitable dress for the party. Luckily, Anna’s mother was good at sewing.
