hionable Baby Sitter39。s Club dolls, a holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she really wanted a bike more than anything else. It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying lastminute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike? Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a highticket item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heartshaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. She looked at me and then at her dad and said, so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one? Beaming, I said, Yes. Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I39。d rather keep this than get a real bike.

I was tired and wanted to take a nap. But before I could go into ignore pattern, she tapped me on the shoulder to introduce herself. Hi, my name is Helga! We got to talking and eventually it came up that I had started an organization in high school called .(Random Acts of Kindness, Etc.). As I described what we did, Helga got very serious and told me that she admired me for that. She told me a story about the last time she had flown. She was on the way to Arizona because she had gotten sudden news that her dad39。s health was on the decline. Later her father39。s physician called to inform her that her dad had rather suddenly passed away. For the 3hour plane ride, she sat in silence around strangers. When she arrived at the airport in Arizona, she walked to the nearest wall, sat down, and cried. And here is the part I39。ll never forget about Helga39。s story. For 2 hours she sat and wept while thousands walked to and fro in the airport. Helga looked at me and said, Houston, not a single person stopped and asked if I was okay that day. It was that day that I realized how much we need each other. It was that day I realized that kindness isn39。t normal. Kindness isn39。t normal. That has stuck with me all these years especially now. I work in schools nationwide speaking about sympathy, kindness, empathy (同理心) and love. I39。m reminded all the time that, for many of us, kindness is not usually our default setting. We spend so much time worrying about our problems, our lives, our insecurities, getting to our flight so we walk by or ignore people in need of help. So, I39。ve made it my mission to do my part in sharing stories with students, teachers, and parents about our need for character and sympathy. I39。m always be on the lookout for the little opportunities that surround me every day to do something nice.(1)What impressed the author most about Helga39。s story?
