When I arrived there, I walked to the door andknocked.

After a while, the door opened. A small woman stood before me. Shewas more than eighty years old.

By her side was a big bag.

When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address ( 地址 ), and then asked, “Could youdrive through

the city?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I know,” she said, “I’m on my way to a hospice ( 临终关怀医院 ). I don’t have any familyleft. The

doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly turned off the meter( 计程表 ). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed

methe building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived.

We drove to the address she had given me.

“How much do I pay you?” she asked.

“None,” I said.

“You have to make a living,” she answered.

“Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She said,“ You gave anold woman a moment of happiness.”

How would you feel if you received a large amount of money all at once?

That’s exactly what happened to Nkosikho Mbele, a worker at a gas station in South Africa. His sudden

luck was brought about by an act of kindness he did for a young woman—Monet, a company manager.

One day, Monet stopped at the gas station to refuel （加油） . But when Nkosikho was about to serve her,

she realized she didn’t have any money or cards on her. She immediately tried to stop him. Knowing about

her trouble, Nkosikho decided to pay her gas bill of about R100 （＄ 7 ） to make sure that she could

travel across the highway with enough gas.

“Madam, I’ll pay for you so that you won’t run out of gas on the road.Whenever you are near here again,

you can just give me back the money,” Nkosikho said. As for him, the R100 was almost all he made in a

day. He had to support a big family. He needed the money very much. He wasn’t even sure if Monet would

come back to return his money, but he still volunteered to help her.

Several days later, Monet came back with his money and a box of chocolate. She was so thankful that she

also posted their story on the Internet. Great changes took place. Nkosikho became famous in his town.

Many people were moved by his act and offered to raise money for him. Nkosikho received

around ＄ 24,000 as much as about his salary （薪水） of eight years.His boss also heard of his kind

act and decided to give him a rise in salary.

“I feel like I’m dreaming. My life has been turned—upside down,” Nkosikho said thankfully. As normal

people, we can bring a great change to life by doing a small good thing.
