Three years ago, I left my motherland Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I was really tired all the time.
Unluckily, I had a high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working, I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.
I picked up some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, "You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right " I said YES in a low voice. She pointed at the salami（腊肠）and bread I was buying and offered, "I can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself." I nodded without saying a word.
So, she made the sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup. "It will warm you up," she said with a friendly smile.
What really warmed me up was not the soup. Her smile told me she cared about me. Her kindness was like my mother's.
Being kind to people who you help means a lot to them. We should always be kind to people around us.
