"What's the matter, Bob?" his mother asked, "Why are you so upset?"

"No one hangs out with me," Bob said. "I wish we'd stayed in Salt Lake City. I've got a lot of friends there."

"You'll make friends in no time here," said his mother. "Just wait and see!"

Selfless is great

Sherwood Anderson is one of the most famous American writers in the early 20th century.His novels and other literary works were widely acclaimed and influenced a generation.

In 1919, a young man wounded in the Great War in Europe moved into an apartment in Chicago, not far from Anderson.

The young man often invites great writers for walks, and talks with him about literature, life and writing skills.Anderson unreservedly taught him writing knowledge, how to express characters and hearts more accurately, and how to capture the fleeting details of life.Later Young left Chicago, and Anderson moved to New Orleans.At the new address, a young man who was also influenced by Anderson's works paid a special visit to him and asked him for advice devoutly.Anderson also helped him unreservedly, not only teaching writing skills, but also introducing him to publishers he knew, and helping young people publish his first novel.

Many years have passed, and Anderson has never rejected every young man who asked him for advice. He spared no effort to help them revise their works, recommend them to friends in the publishing industry, and try his best to make every young man realize their dreams.

Anderson's works and his charismatic personality not only influenced the era in which he lived, but also influenced the next era through the works of young people.

What happened to the two young men introduced earlier?The first young man published his first novel in 1926, which caused a sensation in the world literary world.The name of the work is "The Sun Also Rises", and the name of the young man is Hemingway.

The second young man is Faulkner, the originator of American rural novel creation. His "The Sound and the Fury" is the pioneering work of modern American literature.

Many people wondered what made Anderson so selfless to pass on the magic of his life to any young man he didn't know.

Anderson smiled slightly when facing people's questions. He said: "The great writer Dreiser also helped me unreservedly."

All the people mentioned above have created works that can be handed down from generation to generation. These works can guide us to treat life more positively, and the impact of their great personalities is even more deeply rooted in the soul.Selflessness—this human virtue outlasts any work.

protect the weaker

Once, the Ross family went to play in the forest during the holiday. The forest was so beautiful and cheerful that the parents of the children showed them the glade where the lilies of the valley were in full bloom.

Near the clearing grew clumps of briar roses, and the first flowers were open, pink and fragrant.

The whole family sat near the bushes.Father is reading an interesting book.Suddenly there was a loud thunder, a few drops of rain fell, and then it rained heavily.

Tolia, a fifth-grader, gave her raincoat to her mom, who gave it back to Tolia, who put it on Ross.

Four-year-old Rose asked, "Mom, Tolia gave you her raincoat, you gave Tolia my raincoat, and Tolia gave me my raincoat. Why did you do that?"

"Everyone should protect the lesser," Mom replied.

"Why can't I protect anyone?" Rose asked. "So I'm the weakest man?"

"If you can't protect anyone, then you are the weakest person!" Mom replied with a smile.

He walked towards the rosebush, and lifted the lower part of his raincoat over the pink rose-flowers; the downpour had washed away two petals of the rose-flowers, which bowed their heads because they were delicate and defenseless.

"I'm not the weakest one now, am I, Mom?" Rose asked.

"Yes, now you are strong and brave!" Mom answered him like this.

First time out to dinner with boyfriend
He opened the door for her, politely let her in first, and then followed him in.The hostess took them to a half-moon booth against the wall.The indoor lighting is dim, the music is soft, and most of them are young couples dining.She felt that the restaurant had a nice atmosphere, just as he had told her.

He graciously helped her take off her coat.After sitting down, she couldn't help but glanced at him again, and found that he was also looking at her affectionately and smiling at her.She thought, maybe this is the "Prince Charming" mentioned in the story.He was about twenty-five, tall and handsome, with blue eyes, curly hair, and, to put it mildly, a movie star.

She has only been in the United States for half a year, and she never thought that she would find a boyfriend as soon as she came to the United States, especially an American boyfriend.She had known him for just a month and had dated a few times, but they always met on campus and in the library. This was the first time he asked her out to dinner.

When the waiter brought the menu, he still politely asked her to order first.She took the menu and looked at it, thinking that it was the first time eating with him, so she couldn't order too expensive things.The price of steak is slightly more expensive than chicken, but much cheaper than lobster, so she ordered a plate of filet mignon and a glass of red wine, because she thought that a glass of wine would add to the romantic atmosphere on this occasion .

To her great surprise, when it was his turn to order, he ordered almost the cheapest calamari sandwich and french fries.She thought to herself, this kind of thing can be eaten in any fast food restaurant, why should I eat it in this kind of restaurant?What surprised her even more was that when the waiter asked him what drink he wanted, he pointed to the glass of ice water that had been put on the table by the waiter and said, "Just water."

She was wondering if what she ordered was too expensive.She especially regretted ordering that glass of wine, she was not good at drinking it, she just ordered it to increase the atmosphere and mood, it could also be said that she ordered it for him.

She felt uncomfortable with the disproportionate amount of food and drink, though he ate very naturally.Facing his sandwich, every time she took a bite of steak, she felt ashamed to make him spend more money; facing his ice water, she almost didn't even touch the glass of her wine.This glass of wine not only can't increase the atmosphere and mood, it's simply an extremely unpleasant thing.

After finally eating less than half a piece of steak, he put down his knife and fork, and the man on the opposite side had already eaten all the sandwiches and French fries, and asked the waiter to add ice water twice.

After dinner they continued talking, his interest still strong, but hers completely lost it, the shadow of the steak and wine still lingering. After 15 minutes, she said it was time for her to go home. He didn't insist, telling the waiter to check out, and said: "Two bills."

She didn't care, and didn't think deeply about the meaning of his words for a moment.

When the waiter had brought the two bills and put one in front of each of them, he quickly picked up his, read the number "7 dollars and 5 cents" on it, and took out his wallet from his back pocket. , carefully took out one piece of 5 yuan and three pieces of 3 yuan, handed it to the passer, and said at the same time: "No need to look for it." The waiter took his money, but still stood in front of her and did not leave, she suddenly Surprised, he quickly picked up the bill in front of him.

Although the light is very dim, she can still see clearly, 17 yuan and 25 cents.She opened her purse, took out a 20 yuan bill and handed it to the waiter, and it was the same as what he said: "You don't need to look for it."

The above short story is the personal experience of a young female literary friend of the Los Angeles Chinese Writers Association.It has been more than a year since the incident happened, and she still has lingering fears.She said that she had just arrived in the United States at that time, and she had neither a credit card nor a check book, but fortunately she had some cash, otherwise she would have made a fool of herself.

She said that it is not that she does not know that Americans pay their own bills for eating together, and she does not deny that Americans do not care about face and hypocrisy, but she said that deliberately inviting girlfriends to dinner like this is not special. It was hard for her to accept a referral to a certain restaurant, but in the end it was "two bills".She said that although she is still a student and doesn't know how to make money, he can afford to treat her once and she treats her back once.To an oriental girl, this is like falling in love and being pursued by someone!

There are still some Americans among her current friends, but she tries to avoid agreeing to dinner with them.She said that if she had to eat with them, she would pay attention to these two words: "Two Tickets", or "Two Bills".
