Random Act of Kindness (Intro) Some people give a helping hand for some purposes while others for no reason. For example, help someone to pass the course, to be praised, or to get some benefits, and so on. Recently, news reported that some people found out someone elses wallet or cell phone and they took them to the police station, then they asked for money for giving back the things they found. However, others help people just out of their kindness. At the week of Chinese New Year, I got a part-time job at an Italian ice cream store, CAPATINA, which near the Love River. One day, when I about to leave the store to go home, standing on the sidewalk. A man, who never told me his name, wandering and asking if anyone speaks English. No one answered him, and then he came to me and said Do you speak English? Im lost. Can you call my friend? At first, I did not know what to do, because I was not sure if he was a bad guy. Thus, I only said Yes. Then, he put out his wallet and gave me a business card of his friend, Mark, and told me that he asked him to help him, but he forgot the exact place. After I called Mark, and rang once, I told the lost that I could take him to the information counter. I thought they could use the broadcast to help him find Mark. However, soon, I found that I did not know where the information counter located. Therefore, I took him to the ice cream store, and asked my colleagues for help. At the moment we decided to call Mark again, he called back because the missed call he saw. I gave my phone to the lost guy. After one of my colleagues told Mark where the store located, he asked his lost and a bit drunk friend to stay put. He said that he would come to pick him up. No longer than fifteen minutes, Mark showed up, and kept saying Thank you!, and apologizing for his friend, who has no sense of direction. Then, Mark told me that he works as an English tutor, and he came to the river side to sell sky lantern. It turned out that his friend was supposed to come and help him selling four hours ago. During the holiday of 228 Peace Memorial Day, I went back to Kaohsiung. At the Monday morning, when my brother, Luke and I came out from the 7-11 at the roadside, he saw an old lady, who lives by recycling, dropped all of her cardboard cases, old newspapers, cardboardsetc, while she crossing the street. He ran to her immediately to help her collect those stuffs and get to the safe place. I felt touched by that scene, and it reminds me of the experience of mine that helped by a stranger. Around three years ago, I went to Chiayi to attend a winter camp held by Department of Foreign Languages and Literature, National Chung Cheng University. I went there with my two friends, and I never took a train alone without my parents. When I carried my baggage and stepped on to the train, I got stuck at the door between two railway carriages, because I could not open the door while taking my baggage.
