  Anderson, a Danish writer, is famous for his fairy tales(童话). Both children and adults love his stories. For example, The Ugly Duckling is well-known to people around the world. In fact, Andersen used to be an ugly duckling when he was young.

  In 1805, Andersen was born into a poor family in Denmark. As a young boy, he was tall and ugly and had a very big nose. His friends always made jokes about his big nose. Later, because of his father's death, little Andersen had to make a living by himself. He once

worked as a dressmaker and made money in a theater.

 The difficulties in life helped him create his fairy tales. In The Little Mermaid, he talked about love and sacrifice(牺牲).In Emperor's New Clothes, He made fun of the authority(权威).

 Besides creating stories, Andersen also loved travelling. His famous saying was, "To travel is to live."

 Today, Andersen's fairy tales have been printed into over 100 languages. The Hans Christian Andersen Award is named after him. It's the highest award to give a writer of children's books.

    Helen has always been interested in helping her community (社区). Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer.

    After she retired (退休), she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community.

    She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published (出版), Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and grandchildren.

    After a strong storm hit some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre.

    One day Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees (难民) who needed to learn English. She met once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman from Somalia. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.

    Helen says, "The real value of my volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs."
