It was two hours before I went through security（安检）to catch my flight. I decided it was the perfect time and place to look for an act of kindness to do.Outside security there was a girl having flowers for sale. I told her that I would like to buy flowers for someone else, and she could decide who to give them to. She was unable to understand it, so I suggested that perhaps she could give them to someone who looked a little sad. That was because he or she might need some cheering up.At first, the girl answered, “Thats crazy.” But then I explained a little more about the idea of doing something kind for a stranger, and she understood.“Ill never know how it turns out,” I said, “but you will have the chance to make someones good day. Whatever good we give out comes back to us.” At that time, she started to seem excited about it.She went to take the flowers out of the water they were sitting in, and I explained, “Its fine to leave them there until the person who you want to give them comes.”At that point, I think she was between surprised and happy. Because it might be her first time to meet a customer like me. I paid for the flowers, said goodbye, and joined in the security line.What a nice day I had!9 .
