A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of 4 little girls. During that time, it was hard to find a job. So, on weekend grandpa and grandma cleaned the garden to grow some of their own food. They planted tomatoes, beans, cabbages, potatoes and strawberries to feed their growing family. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden.
The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.
Then grandpa died in one summer when he was eighty-nine years old. It was a lonely winter for grandma. She sat near the window, looking out at the yard and wondering if she could plant the garden in the spring. It would be hard to care for it by herself. When spring came, she planted only a little.
One nice day in the early summer, grandma heard a noise in the front yard and looked out the window. There were thousands of bees in the air. Grandma wondered what she could do. She decided to wait and think it over. Before long, she decided the bees won't bother anyone, so she went about her business and didn't give them any other thought.
That summer, grandma's little garden grew and grew. The neighbors all puzzled why they grew so well. One day, grandma's brother Frank visited her. Frank said，"In my hometown, the farmers often hired beekeepers to set up bee houses near their fields. The bees helped them to grow." That was when Grandma realized that her bees had helped with her garden all summer.
From that Time on, grandma always believed that since grandpa couldn't be there to help her that summer, he had sent the bees to take his place and make grandma's little garden grow and grow.

    Lei Haiwei, a 37-year-old fast food courier(快递员) from Hunan Province, got first place in a televised Chinese poetry knowledge competition. He beat other competitors, including a master's degree（硕士学位） graduate from Beijing University, in the third season of the Chinese Poetry Conference on CCTV on April 4, 2018.

    "My interest in ancient poems began as early as I was six years old. My father hoped I would grow up to be a man who keeps the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in mind," the courier said.

    In 2001, the younger Lei found a job in Shanghai and began to read books related to ancient poems at bookstores or libraries in his spare time, since he didn't make much money. The young man also developed a habit of reciting poems he liked and writing them down after returning home.

    Though Lei works as a fast food courier in Hangzhou later, his love for poems never died. Even on his busiest work days, he used any available moment to recite poems. "For example, I am used to reciting poems when I wait for food at restaurants, and traffic lights on my way to deliver food.  Reciting poems not only enriches my knowledge, but also makes my job less boring. As for my future plan, I will stick to reading and reciting poems," Lei said.

    Home garages (车库)usually have space for a car and maybe things like tools and bicycles. But at Jaecee Rae Carr's home in Tennessee, USA, her parents, garage is filled with blankets and towels.

    After a visit to the local animal shelter (收容所), Jeacee decided to do something to help make the animals more comfortable.

    "I started asking friends, family and neighbors to donate blankets and towels to our local animal shelters," said Jaecee. "I didn't expect people to give so much! We have donated all of them to 20 shelters in 7states."

    Still, Jaecee Rae wanted to do more for shelter animals. So she started pet food donation. "Family, friends, teachers and people in my community donated about 2,700 pounds of dog and cat food," said Jaecee.

    In 2013, Jaecee was praised on different situation because of her hard work. After a year she won the Tennessee Governor's Volunteer Stars Award. She was the youngest person to win the prize and that made her so proud.

    Jaecee didn't stop trying to do more. "In March 2019, my family and people in the community donated things to my Humane Yard Sale. "Our garage was full! "said Jaecee, didn't realize so many things to help. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. We sold so many things and raised over $1,000 from the yard sale!"

    What's next for the young volunteer to do for animals? Maybe a look at her garage will tell the tale!
