内容正文:
When I was a child, we lived next door to the Schonfield Home. People who got too old to take care of themselves lived there. I was a regular visitor and enjoyed spending time with the old people there.
One day, a very old lady named Mrs. Kurtz moved to the Schonfield Home. She seemed sad all the time. For days, I had never seen her smile or laugh. My parents learned that she had no family or friends.
Weeks later, I was visiting the home again. And I saw her sitting alone, looking unusually depressed (消沉的). Mrs. Smith, one of the old people told me that Mrs. Kurtz had turned eighty-nine, and that she was upset to be celebrating another birthday all alone without any cards or gifts. She truly believed there was no one in the world who loved her.
This moved me deeply, and I started to create a plan in my mind. I ran home and raced to my room. I took out my piggy bank that I always valued. And I poured out all the money that I had received on birthdays and other special occasions. I had been saving money for a new bike. Although the money wasn’t enough to buy a bike, it was enough for what I wanted to do then.
I raced down the stairs. My mother was cleaning the house. I walked to her and explained what I was about to do. And she smiled at me proudly. She planted a kiss on my cheek and said, “I must be the luckiest mother in the world to have such a caring daughter.” My mother stopped what she was doing.

Hardly had we arrived when we sprinted for (向……冲过去) the shelves, scanning (非谓语表伴随) all the items one by one for what Mrs. Kurtz might be fond of (what引导的宾语从句). After seemingly a century(夸张), we finally made our decisions — a birthday card and a lovely heart-shaped jewelry box. I wrote the following words on the card: “Happy birthday and all the best. From your neighbor who loves you very much (回应伏笔). ” Delighted and excited, I couldn’t wait to send these gifts of love, heading for the Schonland Home. As expected, we found Mrs. Kurtz sitting alone on a chair (回应伏笔).

At first, she was frozen on the chair and couldn’t believe what was going on. After a while, she received the gifts, eyes widening with delight, and read my message on the card. As I saw the beautiful smile on her face, a sense of satisfaction surged through me. When we said goodbye to her a while later, Mrs. Kurtz was still smiling, waving at (非谓语表伴随) us gently. At that moment, I realized small though our act of kindness seemed to be, it had made a big difference to both Mrs. Kurtz and us. It was on that day that I learned the meaning of being kind. (强调句)
