B In American English, there are various expressions which originate from animals. Today, we will research into words and their stories. Let’s talk about wolf. Wolves are important animals in the traditions and stories of America. Before the Europeans arrived in north America in the 1500s, to native Americans, wolves often meant being brave.

Travor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as usual. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone. The bike was a black 18-speed Kona. Travor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. We relied totally on the bike to go out for work and life. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of his way for someone he has never met before. People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so, This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we can share with others too. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting. 9.
