While I was running slowly one morning, I saw my friend's father sitting alone on the roadside bench. So I crossed the road to wish him a good morning.
As I came over to him, he was very happy to see me. He said it was nice of me to come and chat with him. Then he said to me in a low and sad voice： "At this stage of my life, it feels very lonely here. Anybody sharing a few heartfelt moments would mean a lot to me. "
I was completely shocked by what he said, and I wondered： What could be that little thing that I can do to make his life different?
I knew he was a painter, so I started to ask him about his latest painting experiences. Painting is a passionate (充满激情的) topic for him, and he started to talk with me about it. I asked him, "Can you teach me to paint?"
He was surprised at first and then agreed instantly.
Now, every other day, I go to learn how to paint from him. We paint a lot and talk a lot. He says he feels better, and he waits for me. I say I feel better. After all, I am the one getting so much wisdom from a man who is nearing the horizon of his life with so much experience!
