有一次和朋友聊天,忽然看到了一個(gè)小孩,大概兩三歲的樣子,一直沖著我們笑。我們也非常開(kāi)心的和這位小朋友打了招呼。隨后朋友說(shuō)道:你知道為什么小孩子那么可愛(ài)嗎?因?yàn)樗麄兊难劬?shí)在是太好看了,清澈透亮。而眼睛就是心靈的窗戶,所以他們才會(huì)那么可愛(ài)。
對(duì)于孩子們來(lái)說(shuō),他們的世界單純而美好。只要有家人的懷抱,好吃好玩的,還有和朋友們一起玩耍,就足以讓任何一個(gè)小孩綻放出天使般的笑容。缺失其中任何一樣,對(duì)于孩子們來(lái)說(shuō),都不足以擁有幸福的童年。今天要分享的這個(gè)故事,講述的就是一個(gè)小女孩意外的善舉。對(duì)小女孩來(lái)說(shuō),可能只是發(fā)自內(nèi)心的不經(jīng)意間的善意,但是卻讓一個(gè)小男孩收獲了更加幸福的童年。

我們都曾經(jīng)是孩子,我們知道在小孩子看來(lái)重要的事情和成人是完全不同的。對(duì)孩子來(lái)說(shuō),最重要的是美味的零食,和他們的朋友能夠歡暢地玩,當(dāng)然,還有生日時(shí)嶄新的玩具。
Children's actions are often seen as predictable, however, this 6-year-old surprised her teacher.
