We can almost always find an opportunity

题目：

     We can almost always find an opportunity for kindness. I filled my afternoon with small acts of

kindness today and  they didn't take much time or effort, but I hope they made  a small difference to the

people who received them.

     This afternoon I went out shopping. My first stop was the supermarket. I wanted to buy some bread

with chocolate for my little daughter Rita. After I got the bread, I went on to my second stop-a local

charity (慈善) bookshop. I wanted  to see if I could buy some books on unicorns for Rita.

     While I was there, I started a conversation with the shop assistant, during which she commented on

the smell of my bread. I jokingly replied she could either avoid it (if she was on a diet) or go to the

supermarket and get some. She replied she would prefer the second. "Even better. I will give you mine,"

I said. I gave my bread to her and walked straight  out. She seemed a little surprised.

     When I came out, it was raining hard. Everyone looked  quite soaked. They must have been running

in the rain. I noticed a homeless lady selling the Big Issue (a magazine  that supports homeless people)

and she looked especially cold, so I gave her all my money to buy her magazines.

     I then went back to my car. I had to pay for two hours of parking instead of one because I didn't

have the correct change, so I still had an hour left on my parking. I waited until I saw a young couple

drive in. I gave them one magazine and they were a little surprised and quite pleased.

     You see, doing acts of kindness is that easy.
