He was struggling(费劲) to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him.
I did, and he was grateful.
“Thank you,” he said.
“I' m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said.
He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted(扭曲的) terribly, and he couldn't do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted(反应) to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.
I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
“ Nice shoes,” he said.
“Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before,” I said.
“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.
“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they're impatient with me. I don't want to make people uncomfortable.
“What about me? I asked.
“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don't normally have someone look me in the eye.”
“They don't know what they're missing,” I told him.
“My old face is nothing to brag(自夸) about.” he said.
“But that smile is so big.”
Yes, and it's not only a big smile but an attitude.

One day, a bird keeper was feeling the king's favourite bird when it escaped (逃走) from the cage and flew away. When the king learned of that , he was mad and immediately ordered that the bird keeper be killed.

People were upset. They felt that their king was too harsh (残酷的) over a small matter. The king's minister(大臣) realized this and hurried to the palace. He said, "I'm sorry for your loss. It's fair for you to put the bird keeper to death for he has three crimes(犯罪). Please allowed me to point them out to the man so that he can die knowing his mistakes.

People in the room were shocked by the minister's words. The king, however, agreed and asked his men to bring the bird keeper. The minister walked towards him and said, " Listen ! You were so careless that you let the bird fly away. This is your first crime. You made the king angry, causing him to have a man killed because of a bird. This is your second crime. Finally, your death will lead the people to believe that their king is harsh since he values a pet far more than the life of a human being, This is your third crime.

Hearing this, the whole palace went silent. The king was ashamed(羞愧). Then he said," Free the bird keeper. I'm really lucky to have my minister. Let everyone learn from his courage(勇气)."
