2．　　Tanisha dropped her grape juice yesterday. The juice went all over her new dress. Everyone laughed. I almost did, too. But Mom always tells me to be kind, so I said, "Purple is my favorite color." I thought Tanisha would smile. But she ran into the hall instead.
　　When she came back, snack time was over. She put on her art smock and didn't look at anyone. I almost told Tanisha that art was my favorite class, but I didn't want her to leave again. So I painted some beautiful purple flowers. While I painted, I thought about Tanisha. Should I have handed her my napkin? Spilled my juice so everyone stared at me instead?
　　What does it mean to be kind anyway? Maybe it's giving. Making cookies for Mr. Rinaldi, who lives alone. Maybe it's helping. Putting dirty dishes in the sink. Maybe it's paying attention. Asking the new girl to be my partner. Listening to Aunt Franny's stories.
　　Being kind should be easy, like recycling a bottle. Being kind can also be hard, even when you know what to do. Teaching someone something I'm good at is not easy. And sticking up for someone when other kids aren't kind is really hard.
　　Maybe all I can do for Tanisha is sit by her in the art class. And paint this picture for her. Maybe I can only do small things. But my small things might join small things other people do. And together they could grow into something big. Something really big. So big that all our kindnesses spill out of our school... spread throughout town…travel across the country…and go all the way…around the world.

3．　　Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let's see if I can name a few off the cuff, or without any preparation.
　　People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are restless or nervous have ants in their pants. They might also fly by the seat of their pants. They use their natural sense to do something instead of their knowledge. Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And, in every family, one person takes control. Sometimes wife tells her husband what to do. Then we say she wears the pants in the family.
　　Pants usually have pockets to hold things. Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket. Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants. If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt. You may have to live on less money and spend your money carefully. But once you have succeeded in budgeting your money, you will have that skill under your belt.
　　I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much. I really take my hat off to them. Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat — immediately, without waiting. And sadly, you cannot pull money out of a hat. You cannot get money by inventing or imagining it.
　　Boots are heavy or strong shoes. People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are. I dislike such people. I really do.
