It was 12:45 pm on January 2, 2007. 50-year-old Wesley Autrey was waiting for the train at a subway station in New York. His two daughters, aged four and six, were with him.
Suddenly, a sick man fell down on the platform (站台). The man, 20-year-old Cameron Hollopeter, got up, but then fell again—this time, onto the track between the two rails (道轨). A train was coming into the station. It was a frightening moment.
But Mr Autrey wasn’t frightened. He looked at the man and the space that the man was in. It was about half a meter deep. And he thought, “The train is going to travel over this man. If he tries to get up, the train will kill him. But if he lies on the ground and doesn’t move, he’ll be OK.” So he got an idea.
He jumped down and kept Mr Hollopeter down on the ground. The train driver saw them. He was terrified, but he couldn’t stop in time. The train traveled over the two men before it stopped.
The people on the platform were surprised. When Mr Autrey heard them screaming, he shouted, “We’re OK down here, but I’ve got two daughters up there. Let them know their father is OK.”
In an interview on a TV show, Mr Autrey said, “The only thing that happened to me was my blue hat got dirty.”

On a cold winter afternoon，I was walking home from a supermarket．I was feeling a little tired，as I was carrying my shopping bags．They were so heavy that I decided to stop to have a rest in the park．I walked towards the gate of the park．I noticed a poor mad walking out of the restaurant in front of me．He was holding a paper bag．He walked to a nearby dustbin（垃圾箱）and started looking through it．

I suddenly felt sad．I knew this man would take all that he could get，so I went up to him and gave him some fruit．The man，with wrinkles（皱纹）on his face，looked up in surprise and took what I gave him．

A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very happy．Then he said．“Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich，then this drink，and now some delicious fruit．This is my daughter's lucky day．Thank you，boy．” Then he went away，singing a song．

Just then，I understood what the saying “Giving is getting．”really meant．Everyone in the world needs help，everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness．Giving sometimes doesn't cost much，but it means a lot to the people who you help．
