B
I’m in Boulder, Colorado and I am one of the luckiest ones without flood coming into my house. But some of my friends’ houses are in a mess after the flood. Today I went to a friend’s house and helped her do some cleaning.
Some of her friends were helping her with the housework when I arrived in the morning. She asked me to move the broken things out of the room and clear the mud(泥)in the room. With another helper, I got busy cleaning the mud and broken things.
There was a desk in front of a door and a tall cactus(仙人掌)was on it. My friend asked us to be careful with that plant, because it was the only one that meant a lot to her. It was once her mother’s.
I thought if we could clean the tiles(瓷砖)under the cactus, it would make our friend feel better. So we moved the cactus and got the mud out from under it. Then I asked my helper to get some water to make it clean. It was a small job, and I thought it would be easy for her, since she worked so well.
When our friend came back, she was really moved by what we did for her mum’s plant. She smiled and put her hand to her heart. To her, it was not one little space without mud, but something that warmed her heart.
