with us, said Josh Marino, a veteran (退伍兵)of the Iraq war who suffered the effects of PTSD of suicide . I didn39。t want to deal with it anymore, Marino said. He wrote a goodbye note, grabbed a knife and went outside for a final cigarette in the rain. But then, from the deepest depth of despair came hope. Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten (小貓) which, according to Marino, just walked up and started rubbing up against my leg and let me pet him. I came to life again and I broke down crying. I burst into tears. From this accidental encounter everything changed. Marino found a new purpose in life through the friendly cat, who he named Scout, and who he credits with saving his life. I stopped thinking about all my problems, and started thinking about all his problems, and what I could do to help him, Marino said. The bond between them was instant,but that wasn39。t the end of the story. Marino has made a video of his and Scout39。s remarkable story of healing and heartbreak which you can watch on the Internet. The story is dedicated to showing how animals can help humans through tough times, as well as humans can help them. It is a beautiful story that is sure to tug at your heart strings, showing just how powerful the bond between humans and animals can be.

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story obtained a 1937 crown for me and I have always kept it in my wallet and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food and tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless. I then thought about how the crown, a reminder of another39。s care and love, had protected me so I went to the bank for a $100 dollar bill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better. I feel rich and thank you for being a good friend she said and we were both a bit teary. The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part but to show the power of random acts of kindness. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used and thought I39。ll give that to my friend. I opened it and inside found $100.
