Mr. Zhang was a sports fan．He worked in a hospital in the capital. He was busy all the time and had little time to have a rest. And one day he felt unwell and couldn’t go on working. He decided to spend a week’s holiday in a quiet village where he could go swimming or fishing. He got off at a small train station and soon got to a quiet village. He took a room hotel and went to sleep as soon as he had a good meal.

    At first Mr. Zhang enjoyed himself there. He could do everything he wanted and went wherever he liked. Nobody disturbed(打擾) him and knocked at the door at midnight. But on the fourth day he was in trouble. After lunch it was very hot. He went swimming in the river. Suddenly he saw a beautiful bird in a big tree. He wanted to catch it, so he walked to it, but it found him and flew away and soon was gone. He began to pick some flowers in the forest and before long he lost his way.

    The sun had gone down and night had fallen before Mr. Zhang found a small restaurant in another village. He came in and told them to bring him some bread, two eggs and a glass of tea, After a while his food was brought. Soon he ate up all the bread and eggs. When he was going to have the tea, he found there was a fly in the glass.

    ‘‘What’s in my tea?’’ Mr. Zhang called out, ‘‘A fly.”

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I thought I'd just go east.

A bus stopped. I got on and asked the driver how far she was going, "Ten more miles," she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.

I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus came up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service, but the door opened. It was the same driver.

“I just can't leave you here,” she said. “This isn't the nicest place. I will give you a ride home.”

“You will drive me home on the bus?" I asked, astonished.

“No, I will take you in my car,” she said.

“It's a long way," I insisted.

“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”

As we drove from the station in the car, she began telling me a story, A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I'm just passing the favor(善意的行為) along,” she said.

When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't accept. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along," she said.
