A group of teachers posed the question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: what is love?老师问一群4到8岁的孩子们：爱是什么？
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love." ...Rebecca - age 8. 8岁的Rebecca：“我奶奶关节炎犯了的时候，她都不能弯下去涂脚趾甲油。所以每次到这个时候爷爷就为她涂，甚至是在他手也犯关节炎的时候也不例外。这就是爱。”

And the final one: Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest that he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child. The winner was a 4-year-old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap and just sat there。最后一个：作家兼讲师Leo Buscaglia说起了一次做比赛评委的经历。比赛是为了找到最有同情心的孩子，冠军是一个4岁的小朋友，他的邻居是一个老人家，最近刚刚失去他的爱人。看到老爷爷在哭，小男孩儿就会走进他的院子里，爬到他的膝盖上坐着。
When his Mother asked him what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him cry."当小男孩儿的妈妈问他对邻居说了什么的时候，小男孩说，“我什么也没说，我就是帮他一起哭。”
