Jade's story

Today, my classmate Jade told us a true story. It's a good story.

It happened during War II. A boy named Chi lived in a small village. Some American soldiers lived in the same village because they were preparing to resist the Japanese army. They felt bored, they just walked around the village every day, and they could not find anything interesting. One day, they saw Chi coming to them, and Chi had a basket with some eggs. The boy gave them the eggs, and they found him so cute that they gave him some canned food. The boy was eleven years old. The soldiers felt happy because the boy met them every day. The boy's father asked them to teach his son English, After then the boy lived with them for three years. They got along well.

The soldiers went back to the United States in 1949. Both of them cried at the airport. They wanted to take the boy with them，but they couldn't. After they went back to their country, they ofter got together and talked about Chi, because they missed him. One of them got a letter from Chi in 1980, and Chi told them that he wanted to visit them. The soldiers bought tickets for their friend to go to USA. They lived together for one year. Chi said that he missed his family, so the soldiers gave him money to help them come to the USA. They also gave Chi $5,000 to open a restaurant. Other people wondered why they gave so much to Chi. They said that Chi gave them a lot of happiness when they lived in the small village, so they just wanted to reward Chi, and it was worth it.

After Jade told the story, we were touched. I think if we want other people treat us very good, we need to treat them very good firstly.
