His name was David. He was carrying his books. As I was walking, I saw a group of kids running
towards him, knocking all his books out of his arms. And then they ran away. David fell down
and his glasses went flying. He looked up and I saw sadness in his eyes. I helped him to look for
his glasses and said, "The kids with bad manners should be punished. " There was a big smile that
showed real gratitude (感激) on his face.
From then on we became friends. The more I got to know David,the more I liked him. Over
the next four years, we always studied, played together and had a happy time.
On the graduation (毕业) day, I could see that he was nervous about his speech. So I said,
"Hey, you will be the best!" Then he began, "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you
succeed through those difficult years. Our parents, our teachers, but mostly our friends. Being a
friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I"ll tell you a story ..." I just looked at the
handsome popular boy in amazement as he told the story of the first day we met.
Everyone was surprised to hear all about his hardest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking
at me and smiling that same thankful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its deep meaning.
Never underestimate (低估) the power of your actions. With one small action, you can change
a person"s life. As you can see, "Friends are angels (天使) to make us rise when our wings (翅膀)
have problems flying. "
