　　I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father's words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn．Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things．It was the busiest time of the year．

　　When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family．Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady．She was good at cooking．All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked．During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there．Grandma was always happy to look after them．

　　Year after year, many people moved to big cities．There was no loner “Fairtime”．Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind．My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house．We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible．I was at high school then．What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper's crossword puzzle．However, she didn't look happy．She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word．

　　To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair．One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen．With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger．She told me that her two nieces would come．“They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again．” Grandma said happily．“They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party．That must be the busiest week I've had in years!”

　　I suddenly realized that Grandma didn't want to be looked after．She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful．

　　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 man walking out of the restaurant in front of me．He was holding a paper bag．He walked to a nearby dustbin 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．

　　The man's happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others．
