Martin is my youngest son. He likes staying alone and he seldom laughs. As the boy's mother, I was worried about him. I took him to see the doctors in many hospitals, but it didn't work well.

Nothing could make him happy except the recycling truck(垃圾回收车) passing by my house.Every afternoon, he ran to the front of the house, waiting for the truck.

When we were late and missed the truck, Martin would be very despondent. One day, I stopped the truck and introduced myself,

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Vince."The driver greeted me in a happy voice. After knowing our story, he said, "Could you please give me your phone number? Maybe I can send you a message before I arrive."

Then began our friendship with Vince.

Recently, I said to him, "It's my little boy's birthday tomorrow.Can you do something special for him?"

The next day, as I was standing by the driveway with Martin,we saw the green truck running down the street with a loud beep(嘟啷声).Like a superman in a movie, Vince stopped and walked towards us with a box in his hand.

"Today is your birthday, Martin,and here's a gift."

He handed the box to my son. Inside, there was a green model truck like his. My son, surprised,looked up happily and thanked him:

After chatting for several minutes, he was about to leave for work. I tried to give him some money for his help. He kept shaking his head and refused my money, saying "Today you, tomorrow me."

I was deeply moved by these simple words. And I have been ready to help other whenever I can. You will never know when you're going to be the one that needs help.

In 1921, long before the Walt Disney Company turned Pooh (维尼熊) into an international star of TV and films, Christopher Robin Milne was given a toy bear on his first birthday from his father, A. A. Milne, who bought the stuffed animal from a store. The stuffed animal was named Edward Bear. Years later, Edward was named Winnie. From the time Christopher Robin Milne was a baby until he was about 8 years old, he would receive different stuffed animals. A. A. Milne was a famous English writer. As he watched his son interact (互动) with Winnie and friends.

A. A. Milne thought his child's interaction with the collection of animals would make a great bedtime story. So Milne worked with artist Ernest H. Shepard and wrote the first Winnie the Pooh poem, where Edward Bear was known as "Teddy Bear". The writings appeared in Punch magazine and in the book they wrote together, When We Were Young, which was published in 1924. In a four-year period, three more books that focused on the bear and his team followed: 1926's Winnie-the-Pooh, 1927's Now We Are Six, and 1928's The House at Pooh Corner. 

The books and poems about Pooh brought great success to the writer, and the characters became favorites with young children and their families around the world. Their popularity led Disney to get the rights (版权) to make films about the characters in 1961. Five years later, Pooh, Tiger, Piglet and the rest of the team appeared on screen for the first time in Winnie-the-Pooh and the Honey Tree. The characters later appeared in TV shows, movies, video games and short films. Pooh's most recent appearance came last year in the popular children's program, Doc McSiuf ins, where he was a special guest.
