My brother and I were driving home together and started talking.Because of this distraction,my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately,the wrong turn took us toward a bridge and,we had no way of turning back My brother had to pay to cross.He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless waste of $4.
As we drove forward,my brother noticed a beat-up (破舊的) black Mustang (福特野馬汽車) pulled over to the side of the road.A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone.I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help.And he did.He had a flat tire.
My brother helped him change the flat.We started getting to know the young man who was from a rough neighborhood nearby.He said that this has been a bad week for him;earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident,and now this flat on his way home from work.But he called us "a breath of fresh air" and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn't come along.After we had finished the job,he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to try to give it to us. "No," I said. "We were never supposed to even get on that bridge.We took a wrong turn.But now we know why we did.It was to help you.Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve."
What I loved most was watching my brother throughout this process.He was able to turn his annoyance over the mistake into positive energy.He was able to see a chance to help (which I totally missed!) even in an otherwise negative situation,which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart.That was the bridge we were meant to cross.

1.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
