Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

Jason sat on his couch as he normally did，not knowing that his life would change on that beautiful autumn day. As he left his house，he thought of everything that he needed to buy，made a list，and then got into his car. As he began to drive，his mind came to the fight that he had with his girlfriend. When he finally began to focus back on his driving，it was just a moment too late. He had hit a car and there was no way to stop what happened next.

The smell of gasoline filled the air，and he knew that he needed to get out of the car. Strong arms began to pull him out and he saw a woman who was screaming. A stranger handed a child to her and the child was injured. Afterwards，they were taken to the hospital.

By chance，he was in a room on the same floor as the mother and child. For the first time in his life，he was truly sorry. He made his way to their room，looked at the upset mother straight in the eye and said simply，“Please forgive me and I didn't mean for this to happen.” The woman stood there，completely shocked，and said，“It took a lot of courage for you to ask for forgiveness，and my daughter is always saying to me to just forgive and forget. I will give you forgiveness.”

Jason began to cry，and not knowing what to do，he threw his arms around the mother of the injured girl and told her that he would do anything they needed.
