Kin Bogue, a gatekeeper in California, worked overtime to save money for a trip to Thailand to visit her family and friends. She saved over $ 900 and was planning to buy a ticket, but she lost her wallet with all her money and credit cards.
Kin looked through the garbage and all the buildings where she worked but came up empty-handed. She went home heartbroken, believing that she had lost her money for good.
While Kim was home, sad and depressed, a homeless man was searching through the garbage looking for things to sell. As he was looking through a garbage bag, he found something wrapped in, a plastic bag.
The homeless man, who did not want to be identified (确认), took the wallet to Sherry Wesley. Wesley knew the man from her volunteer work at a homeless shelter. " He came to me with the wad (一叠) of money and said, "This probably belongs to someone that you work with. Can you return it?" Wesley works in one of the buildings that Bogue cleans and she knew Bogue had lost her wallet.
Bogue was amazed when she heard the good news. "I couldn’t believe it when they called me," she said. "He has a very big heart. If someone else had found it, the money would be gone."
As a reward, Bogue gave the man $ 100. The homeless man gave half of the money to Wesley, who then donated it to charity.

It was another day to jump rope in gym class. Lynn and Mike turned the long rope in big, slow circles. The whole class hurried to get in line to wait for their turn to jump. Millie stood at the back of the line and frowned.
Nick went first. He watched the rope and ran in at just the right time. Everyone counted. He made it all the way to 30 jumps. One after another, the kids watched the rope, ran in and jumped.

“Let’s see how long each one of you can jump without missing.” she said as she gave each student a short rope. “Ready, set. Go!”
Millie smiled for the first time ever in gym class. As she jumped, she sang rhymes quickly to herself.
After a while, Millie realized that everyone was cheering. “Go. Millie, go!”
She was the only one still jumping rope! The surprise almost made her miss a step, but she kept going. When at last she was too tired to go on, she stopped. The whole class cheered. Everyone was looking at her and smiling. Millie smiled back!
