A New Morning

第二天早上,小郭起得很早。The next morning, Xiao Guo wakes up early.他做了早饭,有鸡蛋和牛奶。He makes breakfast — eggs and milk.天气很好,太阳刚出来。The weather is nice; the sun is just rising.他想着:“今天一定会顺利。”He thinks, “Today will go smoothly.”
走到地铁站时,他看到一个老人摔倒了。When he walks to the subway station, he sees an old man fall down.很多人看着,但没人过去。Many people look, but no one goes over.小郭马上跑过去,帮老人站起来。Xiao Guo quickly runs over and helps the old man stand up.老人笑着说:“谢谢你,小伙子。”The old man smiles and says, “Thank you, young man.”小郭也笑了,心里觉得今天真不错。Xiao Guo smiles too and feels that today is truly a good day.
