After a tough week, I wanted to have a good rest. I went to the near beach for some 1 time with myself. It was a lovely, warm weekend in California, kids 2 playing in the water, or building sandcastles.
When I was to leave, I 3 a girl playing by herself. She built a little sandcastle with a moat (护城河) around it and was trying to fill it with water. Unfortunately, there was no 4 around to carry water. She would go to the waves, 5 her hands and then walk back to her little castle. 6, not much of the water was making it to the moat. But she kept trying, still smiling and 7. As I was standing there watching her big project, I 8 that I had a bottle of water in my bag. I quickly 9 my bag, took out the bottle , and walked over to hand it to her. 10 at first, she smiled but 11 her head shyly, saying no. I told her that it would make getting the water much faster. She smiled and finally took it from my hands after I 12. Looking back, I saw her running over to the sea with a big smile, 13 in hand.
As for me, it was a small 14. But I also know that when she meets someone in need, maybe, she would think of this little act of kindness by a 15. And maybe she would help create a little gentler world around her.
