A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles (脚踝) was injured, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E class, the teacher asked us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later told me that I was not fit for an athlete.
The teacher’s words went with me for years. But later I realized running was a battle (战斗) against myself, not just about competition itself. It was a test of wills (意志)!
The night before my marathon, I was so nervous, but then ready to prove something to myself. However, Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces (鞋带) became untied. So I had to stop to readjust!
At mile 3, I passed a sign, “Come on! You’ll make it!”
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. But I first slowed down a bit and then continued running again.
By mile 21, I was starving (饿坏了)!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She supported my running all the time.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I even got a medal — just the same as the one the first winner got.
Determined to be myself, move forward forever, I can now call myself a “marathon winner”.

Grace Knee, 29, was an exception, loving the heat. “I love this weather,” she said, adding that she had applied strong sunscreen before staying under the sun. “I just like getting a tan (晒黑的皮)肤).”

“Mommy, look!” Jack said when they got close to the register. He pointed at a row of toy cars for sale. “Can I have one Please ”
“No, Jack. You have plenty of cars,” said Mrs. Brown. “Besides, it’s very close to Christmas. Who knows what Santa will bring you ” Jack accepted his mother’s decision, but it didn’t help his mood. Now he was tired and disappointed.
When they got up to the counter, the lady at the register handed Jack one of the toy cars. “The woman in front of you in line bought this for you,” she said. “I chose the yellow one, but you can have any one you want.”
Jack looked so happy because it was the very thing he wanted. Mrs. Brown looked around for the mysterious (神秘的) benefactor, but she was long gone. “That was very nice of that lady,” she said. “Maybe we can also give an anonymous (匿名的) gift to someone else today.”
“Yes, we should!” Jack agreed. The unexpected kindness made him feel better than any medicine could. Immediately he thought of the little girl who was badly ill in Urgent Care Center. “Mommy, why not give the girl we saw in Urgent Care Center something nice to comfort her ” he suggested.

“Mommy, look!” Jack said when they got close to the register. He pointed at a row of toy cars for sale. “Can I have one Please ”
“No, Jack. You have plenty of cars,” said Mrs. Brown. “Besides, it’s very close to Christmas. Who knows what Santa will bring you ” Jack accepted his mother’s decision, but it didn’t help his mood. Now he was tired and disappointed.
When they got up to the counter, the lady at the register handed Jack one of the toy cars. “The woman in front of you in line bought this for you,” she said. “I chose the yellow one, but you can have any one you want.”
Jack looked so happy because it was the very thing he wanted. Mrs. Brown looked around for the mysterious (神秘的) benefactor, but she was long gone. “That was very nice of that lady,” she said. “Maybe we can also give an anonymous (匿名的) gift to someone else today.”
“Yes, we should!” Jack agreed. The unexpected kindness made him feel better than any medicine could. Immediately he thought of the little girl who was badly ill in Urgent Care Center. “Mommy, why not give the girl we saw in Urgent Care Center something nice to comfort her ” he suggested.

“That sounds like a good idea,” said Mrs. Brown. Jack nodded with his eyes twinkling with pleasure. “You can look around the store and choose something special for her,” said Mrs. Brown. Jack checked everywhere and finally picked up a gorgeous doll. He showed it to Mrs. Brown and said, “Mom, how about this one It looks pretty and it can be a good company to the little girl. I am sure she will love it.” Mrs. Brown agreed and paid for it at the counter. Early next morning, they carefully placed the doll on the bedside table next to the little girl in Urgent Care Center.
When she woke up, the girl found the doll(玩具娃娃) beside her. The instant she saw the doll, the smile on her face shone like a diamond. She wondered whom it was from, and she noticed a note under the doll. She reached it and the note read, “Dear, hope you feel better soon. From anonymous kindness.” The girl’s heart was filled with warmth. And she made up her mind to pass the kindness on when she got better. The world would be a much better one with so many kindnesses.
