It was the Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind.
In 2008, I left Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up(养育) my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.
Unluckily, I got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I was new in London, I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to talk with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the bed for two days, I went out to get some food. Usually, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.
I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, ‘You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right?’
I said YES in a low voice.
She pointed at the salami (腊肠) and bread I was buying and offered, ‘I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself.’
I nodded without saying a word.
So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.
‘It will warm you up,’ she said with a friendly smile.
What really warmed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared me. Her kindness(善良) made me think of my mother.
I was quite shy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness stop me from talking with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children’s hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.

Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land．There are more than 5.000 kinds of frogs on the earth．The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same．Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs．Enjoy！
The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs
Some frogs can be very big．The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa．Its body can be nearly 30cm long，about the size of a large cat．The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world．They are less than lem long．Though the Poison Frog is very small，it is not weak at all．It is dangerous．Any animal that eats it will die very soon．
The Best Jumpers
Frogs are very good at jumping．They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals．Using their big strong legs，most frogs can jump over 20 times their own length．It is like a person jumping over about 30.48m．The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m，which is 50 times its body length（5.5cm）．That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth．
The Cryogenic Animal
Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places．When the temperature goes down，they become ice frogs．2／3 of their body water freezes．Their hearts stop，and their breathing stops too．You may think they are dead，but in fact they are not．Maybe we humanscan learn thc way that the frogs do for medical purpose．
