Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car.My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well.It was pretty  32  outside and I had no plans to  33  being in the bright sun.She  34  wanted to give lemonade(檸檬汽水)to passers-by for free.I had seen little kids 35  and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.Although I felt 36 , I decided to help her.

   37  she asked me, “What if we 38  this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and  39  her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with  40  ideas.While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n) 41  with beautiful images of smiles.They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the  42  of their exercise was “smile”.It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 43  to do something for others.

    All that seemed 44  and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to  45  to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to  46 others and do something nice in the community!

    I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional  47 to help clean cars.Passers-by were  48  and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused.A pretty heartwarming  49  !

    I feel blessed by being 50  by such wonderful and loving souls.
