Linda and her brother, John, saved money for many years. One day, Linda emptied her money jar. “I would like to help other people with the money,” she said. John also emptied his money jar.
“We can do a lot for others with all the money,” John said with a smile. “But who shall we help?” Linda asked. “Let’s help our neighbors, Billy and his sister, Rose. I have found that there are some holes in their shoes,” John said. “We could buy some new shoes for them,” Linda said.
Linda and John told their mother their plan. She was glad and took them to a shoe store at once. Linda picked out a pair of shoes for Rose. John picked out a pair of shoes for Billy. They put the two pairs of shoes into two beautiful boxes. When it was darker, John walked to Billy and Rose’s house quietly. He put the boxes near the door, and knocked hard, and then he ran away quickly.
Billy and Rose came out. “Look! There are presents for us. Someone left them here,” Billy said. They looked around, but they couldn’t find anyone. They took the boxes inside happily.
The next morning, when Linda and John went out, they saw Billy and Rose playing outside. They were both wearing their new shoes. Linda and John were so happy because they could help others.

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a serious stomachache. Neither Al nor his wife took it very seriously. But the boy died suddenly that night.
The death could have been avoided if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, so Al always felt he was guilty(内疚). To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain were more than Al could stand, and he turned to alcohol(酒精) for help.
Al began to lose everything he had—his land, house, etc. Finally Al died alone in a small bar. Hearing of Al’s death, I thought, “What a complete failure(失败)!”
I knew Al’s now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
I hadn’t heard Ernie talked much about his father. One day, I worked up my courage to ask him what on earth his father had done so that he became such a special person. Ernie said quietly, “As a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ‘Love you, son.’”
Tears came to my eyes as I realized that I had been a fool to tell Al as a failure. He had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.
