One Monday morning，I was waiting at the bus stop in Harvard Square．It was very cold，about -8℃．I had just missed the bus，so I had to stand there on such a cold day，waiting for the next bus to go to the hospital．for my husband would have an operation on his heart．My mind was full of anxiety and negative thoughts（消极的想法）．“Why didn’t I leave two minutes earlier?” “What would go wrong with my husband’s operation?” “Will I get to him before it starts?”

Among the others at the bus stop was a woman who was about 50 years old．She wore a dowdy（过时的）hat，an old pair of boots and a dark coat，but she had no gloves（手套）．Another woman who looked younger came to the older woman and said，“Your hands must be very old．You will get frostbite（生冻疮）in this weather if you don’t wear gloves．”With these words，she dropped her heavy bag to the ground and began searching inside it．After a while, she took out a pair of purple gloves from her bag，took the older woman's hands and gently placed a glove on each hand, covering one finger at a time．It was like watching a play．“Thank you．You’re so kind．”The old woman said again and again．

I was deeply moved（感动）by this act of kindness．A moment ago I was feeling sorry for myself．but now I was able to replace（代替）those feelings with hope，optimism（乐观）and confidence．I thought in this world there were still many people in trouble who were in great need of our help．

Several days later，I went to buy 5 pairs of bright purple gloves in a shop and put them in my bag，just in case（以防）I Fun into someone in need on a cold day．

One summer evening as I was cooking dinner, there was a knock at the door. I opened it and saw an old man. But his voice was pleasant as he said, “Good evening. I come to see if you have a room for just one night. I live far away from here, and there's no bus till next morning. ”

I told him we would find him a bed, but it was not comfortable. I went inside and cooked dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to join us. “No, thank you. I have plenty.” When I had finished the dinner, I went out to talk with him. He told me he fished for a living to help his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was ill and too weak to do anything.

At bedtime, we put a bed in the children's room for him. On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some fresh vegetables. In the years he came to stay overnight with us, and there was never a time he did not bring us some fish or vegetables from his garden.

I know it was thankful for our family to know him, from whom we learn what was to accept the bad without a complaint(抱怨) and the good with thanks.
