After talking about the meaning of kindness, I gave a challenge to the children I told them to write a short story about the act of kindness, how that made them feel, or if they had received an act of kindness, how that made them feel. In what way had that act changed them? Then the head teacher and I would choose the best ones, which would stand out for their feelings of compassion（同情）and love towards them.When I was waiting for my daughter, I saw some teachers that were at the meeting passing by and I was hoping that they would tell me whether they liked the talk or not, but they didnt say anything.Then a little boy came to me and said, “you know, I enjoyed the meeting.” “OK. Then are you going to write a lovely story?” I asked. “Im not good at writing,” the boy replied. So I explained that I would be happy if he could just write a sentence or two about an act of kindness.I didnt have much time to talk to him because he was in a hurry to meet his friends, who were waiting for him, but in my heart that was a beautiful act of kindness. The fact that he was able to stop to talk to me for two minutes, to let me know that he had enjoyed the meeting was worth all the effort I had put into preparing the talk for them.15 .
