3.That day was Random Acts of Kindness Day.
A random act of kindness is usually unexpected and unplanned.Maybe help someone carry groceries(雜貨).Maybe pay for a stranger's coffee.Or maybe send a helpful note to a friend.
I remembered,at a shopping mall,I saw a man sitting on the ground with a sigh,said"Please help."
I often give $20 to people like him,but now I decided to invest(投入) some time as well.I stopped and said,"Come on,brother.Pick up your things and let's get you some groceries."
As we walked back into the mall,I learned that he had a place to live,but no money to buy food.
Anyhow,he shared his story and I still wanted to help him.We started with some fruit and vegetables.He chose some tomatoes first,then got some carrots and onions.I asked him what else he wanted,he said meat.
He told me he had two boys,a big pack of noodles went in the basket.He also asked if he could get some toothbrush,of course,fine.
I was not sure exactly what had happened to this man,but his smile was genuine(真誠的).He only took what he really needed.I know I won't do this all the time,as I can't afford to do so.But treating people with dignity(尊嚴),kindness and compassion is important.Helping others is a good way to help the world,even in just a small way.We often feel as thought here's nothing we can do to make the world better.But that's just not true.

(4)What does the writer want to tell us?
