Passage 1
Helping Others, Changing Yourself
Many years ago, a young man was stuck in a heavy rain. He couldn’t get home and no one stopped to help him. Just when he felt hopeless, an old man walked over and gave him an umbrella, and helped him walk to the nearest safe place.
The young man thanked the old man and wanted to pay him money. But the old man said, “I don’t need your money. All I want is for you to reach out to people in need, and pass on this kindness.”
Years later, the young man became a famous doctor. He always remembered that rainy day. He often worked day and night, racing against time to save sick people. He always offered his help to anyone in trouble. Once, a sick nurse thanked him deeply, and he said the same words the old man told him.
