I was in a shopping mall， so I decided to go and get a cup of coffee. As I was making my way to the coffee shop， I noticed an old gentleman poorly dressed sitting near the shop. I knew from the first sight that he needed help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was enjoying it. It was clear that he had a problem with his right eye. I then joined the line and waited to be served.
Then it happened. One of the most beautiful gestures(姿态) I had ever seen in my life. There was a young man in front of me in the line who was also waiting to be served. The next thing I knew was that the young man handed the waitress(女服务员) 20 dollars and requested a glass of juice as a favor(善行). The waitress looked at the young man a little perplexed， not fully understanding the request. That was when the young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside， as well as the change(零钱) from the 20 dollars. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe. Then there was a wonderful exchange between the waitress and the old man. I only wished I could take a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.
As I was considering this event later， I wondered why the young man didn’t perform this act of kindness himself. Maybe he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire(激励) others to do something for this old man as well.

I arrived at my mother’s home for our Saturday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt after quilt from the boxes， proudly showing me their beauties. I knew they were all made herself. She was preparing for a quilt show on TV. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes， I noticed something at the bottom of one box.I pulled it out. “What’s this?” I asked.
“Oh?” Mom said， “That’s Mama’s quilt.”
I spread the quilt. It looked as if a group of school children had made the pieces together.
“Grandmother made this?” I asked in surprise. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn’t look like any of the quilts she had made.
“Yes， right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes，” Mom said， “I’m still working on it. See， this is what I’ve done so far.”
I looked at it more closely. She had made a line straight(直的). At the center of the quilt， she had stitched a piece of cloth with these words： “My mother made many quilts. She didn’t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt.”
“Oh， this is so nice， Mom.” I said. I was sure now that by completing my grandmother’s quilt， my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman， and continued with the loving hands of another.
