It's amazing how often we take advantage of things in life.When we're used to something,we don't always appreciate how lucky we are to have it.While we're here complaining that our WiFi isn't fast enough and that our videos keep stuttering,there are people in Africa who don't even get to eat three meals a day.While most people work hard for the things they own,it's important to stop and think of what others don't have every now and again.You may not think that shoes are something worth going crazy over,but the Ugandan woman would disagree.After all,she went wild when she put a pair of shoes on for the first time in her life.
That's what Laura Grier did one day.The woman was in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park,Uganda,when she felt it necessary to stop and help someone by the side of the road.The person in question was standing around without any shoes on,and the sight convinced Laura to give up her own footwear.She had more shoes at home,while this woman had never even worn a pair before.
Laura's generosity was definitely appreciated by the stranger who treated her benefactor (捐助人)to a celebratory dance.The woman couldn't keep the smile from her face as she went wild in her brandnew shoes.Laura was thrilled that her good deed had made the stranger so happy,and she cheered on the Ugandan woman as she danced in the street.
Next time you buy a pair of shoes,remember how lucky you are to have them.
