D B B I was flying home from vacation and sat next to a young man. He had his earphones on so I just continued to knit(编织) a baby hat. I wanted to give it to the charity(慈善机构). He asked me what I was doing. I told him, and noticed a change in his attitude(态度). So I asked if he had a baby. He said that he and his wife lost a baby boy and that they were having trouble having a family. I asked him if he would like to give the hat to his wife when he returned from his business trip. At first he said no because it should be given to the charity. I said there was a reason why I sat next to him and that it could bring hope to both of them. When I finished, I told him that I had a special touch—I made a pompom(小绒球) on the top of the hat. And he was happy. You see, I understood as my daughter and her husband lost their little boy at 9 weeks old and I wanted to give them hope. He thanked me several times before leaving for home in New Orleans. I will never see him again but my heart and good thoughts will always be with him. Sometimes we can be the angel that brings a little hope to others! (　A　)6.
