A large squirrel(松鼠) was a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and was gone in a large hole in the tree. A moment later, he jumped out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place. I ran to the tree and looked into the hole. It was filled with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. I took all of them and put them into my basket. Now it was full! I was so proud of myself. I couldn’t wait to show grandpa all the pecans. He looked into the basket and said, “Well, how did you find so many ” I told him the truth.
Grandpa praised me for how smart I’d been in observing(观察) the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that surprised me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently around my shoulders.“That squirrel worked very hard to find food for winter,” he said, “Now that all of his pecans are gone, do you think that little squirrel will survive(存活) the cold winter If you want to have more pecans, what can you learn from the squirrel ” I know what I should do.

Dear teachers and students,
Helping others is a beautiful virtue. As the new semester begins, the Student Council encourages everyone to practise acts of kindness in our daily lives. Whether it’s helping a classmate with his/her studies or simply offering a smile, every small act counts. For example, you can help a fellow student carry his/her books. You can also do volunteer work in your community. Let’s work together to create a supportive and caring environment.
Sincerely,
Wu Fei
