　　Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his children．

　　When he was 12, his parents died．He was alone and didn’t get on well with others．People always laughted at him．No one showed kindness to him．

　　His only friend was a dog named Tige．He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it．He didn’t know that an unkind word sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife．

　　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 help her．“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling．

　　A special feeling came to him．These 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 littlke dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood．

　　“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said．“Well Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more．” Tige waved its tail happily．

　　The boy thought and thought．Finally 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, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,” Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed(種子)of knidness．All of us should learn about kindness．What a great power(力量)it has!”

　　I don’t think all household chores are boring．But some really are．Every day after breakfast I have to clean the table．On weekends, I have to clean the bathroom and do the dishes after dinner．There are two things that I hate most in life－cleaning the bathroom and doing the dishes．

　　My mom often says, “Amy, clean your bedroom．It’s a mess(雜亂)．” I don’t think it’s really that messy．But mom just checks my room every day and tells me to clean up “this mess”．Of course I promise her each time that I will clean it up－when I have the time．

　　My brother, Mark, doesn’t have to do very much at home．Sometimes, he helps Dad wash the car and water the plants．Those are not boring chores at all．I usually have to remind(提醒)him to help me do the dishes, but after he passes the dishes, he runs back to his computer．
