Story

汤tāng姆mǔ刚gāng来lái到dào这zhè个ge大dà城chéng市shì。今jīn天tiān是shì他tā第dì一yī次cì自zì己jǐ出chū门mén。他tā想xiǎng去qù车chē站zhàn，可kě是shì他tā不bù知zhī道dào方fāng向xiàng。

Tom has just arrived in this big city. Today is the first time he has gone out on his own. He wants to go to the station, but he does not know the way.

街jiē上shàng的de人rén很hěn多duō，大dà家jiā都dōu走zǒu得dé很hěn快kuài。汤tāng姆mǔ站zhàn在zài路lù边biān，不bù知zhī道dào应yīng该gāi往wǎng哪nǎ边biān走zǒu。他tā有yǒu一yì点diǎn紧jǐn张zhāng。

There are many people on the street, and everyone walks fast. Tom stands at the side of the road, not knowing which way he should go. He feels a little nervous.

一yī个gè女nǚ孩hái看kàn到dào了liǎo他tā。她tā叫jiào安ān娜nà。她tā笑xiào着zhe问wèn：「你nǐ是shì不bu是shì找zhǎo不bù到dào路lù？」汤tāng姆mǔ说shuō：「是shì的de，我wǒ想xiǎng去qù车chē站zhàn。」

A girl notices him. Her name is Anna. She asks with a smile: "Can't you find your way?" Tom says: "That's right, I want to get to the station."

安ān娜nà说shuō：「车chē站zhàn不bù远yuǎn。你nǐ一yì直zhí往wǎng前qián走zǒu，很hěn快kuài就jiù到dào了liǎo。」可kě是shì汤tāng姆mǔ还hái是shì不bù太tài明míng白bái。

Anna says: "The station isn't far. Keep walking straight ahead and you'll soon be there." But Tom still does not quite understand.

安ān娜nà看kàn出chū他tā没méi听tīng懂dǒng。她tā说shuō：「这zhè样yàng吧ba，我wǒ带dài你nǐ去qù。」汤tāng姆mǔ很hěn高gāo兴xìng，也yě有yǒu一yì点diǎn不bù好hǎo意yì思si。

Anna can see he has not understood. She says: "Tell you what, I'll take you there." Tom is very pleased, and also a little embarrassed.

路lù上shang，他tā们men说shuō了liǎo很hěn多duō话huà。安ān娜nà说shuō她tā也yě是shì很hěn久jiǔ以yǐ前qián来lái到dào这zhè里lǐ的de，她tā也yě常cháng常cháng找zhǎo不bù到dào路lù。

On the way, they talk a lot. Anna says she too came here a long time ago, and that she often could not find her way either.

到dào了liǎo车chē站zhàn，汤tāng姆mǔ说shuō：「真zhēn的de很hěn谢xiè谢xiè你nǐ。」安ān娜nà说shuō：「不bú用yòng谢xiè。这zhè个ge城chéng市shì很hěn大dà，可kě是shì人rén是shì好hǎo的de。」

When they reach the station, Tom says: "Thank you so much." Anna says: "Don't mention it. This city is big, but the people are kind."

汤tāng姆mǔ看kàn着zhe她tā走zǒu了liǎo。他tā想xiǎng：今jīn天tiān他tā不bù只zhī找zhǎo到dào了liǎo路lù，也yě明míng白bái了liǎo一yī件jiàn事shì，一yī个gè小xiǎo小xiǎo的de帮bāng助zhù，可kě以yǐ让ràng一yī个gè人rén记jì住zhù很hěn久jiǔ。

Tom watches her leave. He thinks: today he did not only find his way, he also understood something - a small kindness can stay with a person for a long time.
