Mick Polly has a toy store. He lives with his daughter Carolina in Kentucky, US. People also call him the Bike Man because over the past few years, Mick has built hundreds of bikes for needy kids.
One day in 2012, a 13-year-old boy with a broken (坏的) bike walked by Mick' s house. "I was working in my garage (车库), and he asked if I could repair (修理) it," said Mick.
The boy's bike had broken wheels (车轮). Mick posted (发布) a picture on Facebook, asking his friends if they had the parts he needed. One friend saw the picture and gave away two used bikes. Mick took parts from each to build new wheels for the boy.
Soon after, Mick repaired a bike for the boy's brother and one for his sister. During the year, he repaired lots of bikes for kids whose parents didn't have enough money for new ones.
"People are throwing away (扔掉) bikes every day," said Mick.
Mick puts the bikes and bike parts in his garage. "I take off the good wheels and use them," he said.
Up to now, Mick has repaired hundreds of bikes and given away almost 700 newly repaired bikes. They're free, but the kids must agree to try their best to study in school.
Mick also hopes the bikes will get kids off the sofa (沙发)" When I was growing up we all rode our bikes" he said' Hopefully these kids can get some exercise."
On the first day in her new house,Mouse wrote a letter to her old friend.
Dear Vole, My house is very comfortable, but none of my new neighbors will be as good a friend as you are. Love, Mouse |
On the way to the post office, Mouse saw Beaver. He gave Mouse a big smile.
"Perhaps I should say hello, "thought Mouse." Beaver's teeth are so long and sharp(锋利的). Beaver wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, whose smile was kind." So Mouse left without saying hello.
After lunch, Mouse heard a knock on her door. Then she peeked(偷看)out the window. It was Squirrel.
"Perhaps I should invite her in for tea, "thought Mouse." But Squirrel talks a lot. Squirrel wouldn't make a good friend. Not like Vole, who always listened." So Mouse didn't open the door.
That night, Mouse looked at a picture of herself and Vole. She thought back to the first time she met Vole. She remembered feeling afraid-afraid of Vole's eyes and Vole's large size.
In fact, Vole had seemed so different that Mouse almost decided Vole wouldn't make a good friend.
Mouse realized something." I made a mistake!" she cried.
The next morning, Mouse made some cakes and put them in a basket.
She went to Beaver's house first, and next to Squirrel's house.
When Mouse returned home, she was smiling. She went to her desk and wrote a letter to Vole.
Dear Vole, Today, I visited my new neighbors. Beaver has strong teeth. He uses them to build homes. Squirrel knows lots of stories. She makes me laugh. I think Beaver and Squirrel will be my good friends like you are. Love, Mouse |
