<p class="ql-block"><span style="color: rgb(1, 1, 1); font-size: 22px;"> Pay it forward （把爱传出去）</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> It's July 3, 2018.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> This morning, when I got off the bus, it was raining cats and dogs. I wondered how I could walk to work without an umbrella for about 1 km in the heavy rain. I waited and waited but the rain never stopped. I was so anxious. Suddenly I saw a man was closing his umbrella outside a store. I asked him for help and he lent me his umbrella. How lucky I was! How kind the man is!</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> 今天早上，当我走下公共汽车时，大雨倾盆而下。我想知道在大雨中，我怎么能在没有雨伞的情况下走路大约一公里去上班呢？我等啊等，但雨却一直不停，急死人了！突然，我看见一个男人在一家小商店外面关上伞。我向他求助，他把伞借给了我。我是多么幸运啊！这人真好！</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> It reminded me of another story. One evening last year, when I was waiting at the bus stop, it suddenly began to rain heavily. I noticed that a young lady beside me who didn't have an umbrella. Without hesitation, I went up to her and shared my umbrella with her until we got on the bus.</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> Be kind to others! </span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> Pay it forward. </span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> Help others. </span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> Help yourself!</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> 这使我想起了另一个故事。去年的一个晚上，当我在公共汽车站等车时，突然下起了大雨。我注意到我身边的一位年轻女士没有伞，我毫不犹豫地走到她跟前，和她分享了我的雨伞，直到我们上了公共汽车。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size: 20px;"> 所以，请善待他人！把爱传出去，帮助别人，帮助自己！</span></p> <h1><font color="#010101"> </font><span style="color: rgb(1, 1, 1);">One day in 2016, I took off my suitcase and backpack out of a bus.
