Long long ago, there was a small village. This village had a 36 tradition. At the beginning of every year, any boy who had reached the age of majority (成年) was given land and money to build a home. The boy had to 37 his home before winter. If his home failed to endure the cold weather in winter, the villagers could not 38 him in any way．
One _39_, Paul and Marc reached their majority. They 40 their land and money and decided to search nearby villages for ideas on building their homes．In each village, they found the nicest 41 and talked to the owners. Each owner gladly offered 42．
After Marc saw several homes, he 43 the best ideas and went back to his own land. Paul, _44_, continued collecting more ideas. Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 45 some of them. But he always believed he could find even better ideas in the next village．
Marc began building his home. He had several false starts, 46 his home gradually rose from his land. By fall, Marc had finished his home.

A man and his family were in Europe. Once they needed to drive 3 days 36, day and night, to get to Germany. His little daughter had never 37 at night without a break before. She was 38 the first night in the car, with terrible deep darkness outside.
“Where are we going, Daddy?” asked the daughter. “To your uncle’s house in Germany.” Father answered.
“Have you been to his 39 before?” “No.”
“Then, do you know the 40 ?” “Maybe, we can read the map.”
Short pause. “Do you know how to read the map?” “Yes, we will get there 41 . Don’t worry.”
The same dialogue 42a few times within the first night, and also the second night. 43 on the third night, his daughter was quiet. Father thought that she might have fallen 44 , but when he looked into the mirror, he saw that she was awake and was just 45 calmly. He couldn’t help wondering 46 she was not asking the questions anymore.
“Dear, do you know where we are going?” “Germany, uncle’s house.”
“ Do you know how we are getting there?” “No.”
“ Then why aren’t you asking anymore?” “Because Daddy is 47 .”
Because Daddy is driving. This answer from a 3 years old girl has then become the 48 and help this man for many years whenever he has questions and

She knows that her Daddy will 55 all that she needs.

The other day I decided to teach my son about the power of small acts of kindness. He had won some lollies(棒棒糖) in a prize machine in the local supermarket, so I asked him if he would like to 46 his prizes with another child. He hesitated(犹豫) for a while because he is a(n) 47 boy, but said yes after I 48 him a bit.
A father and his daughter were 49 . I approached the father and asked if my son could give his 50a lolly that he had won. The father looked at me in 51 and was unsure what to say. I 52 explained that I was teaching my son about the power of kindness. Eventually he said it was okay.

Rather than say sorry to my son for embarrassing him and give up this 57 , I put a couple of lollies into their shopping bags and 58 them a great day!
When we left the supermarket, I 59 to my son, “People in the world today are not so open to 60 because their thoughts and opinions have been 61 by the past. However, we can reshape their opinions by 62 small acts of kindness. So don’t be embarrassed. Hey, they may have been standoffish(冷淡的), but I’m sure we left them 63 , moved and inspired in some way.
