This week’s story comes from Mei in Taiwan, who sets the mosquitoes in her house free every evening. 

“Our house has quite the number of mosquitoes that come out in the evening. My friends and I kept getting bit, so we brainstormed how to remove them from the house in a way that would not harm them. After we saw mosquitoes fly out of our pot of steamed corn we left on the table, we realized that mosquitoes liked the taste of steamed corn, which we ate for lunch every day. Afterwards, we put our finished corn cobs into a deep bowl for the mosquitoes and placed this bowl on a chair by the door. Several times in the evening, I would quickly cap the bowl with a pot lid and take them outside and release them, watching dozens of them fly away into the night.”

This week’s story comes from Phil H. in Canada who, after getting help from two strangers upon getting injured, passed on the kindness by listening to a weary mother and son at the hospital. 

 “I fell off my bike. I cut my arms and hands and hip. I was a mess of blood and gravel. One kind person poured water on my wounds, another helped me get home. I was humbled and inspired by their heartfelt generosity of spirit. At the local hospital I was patient, grateful, and of good humour due to these two saints. When I sat by a tired mum with an injured child, I passed on the kindness by listening and caring and being attentive. Passing on the blessing.”

This week’s story comes from Sunol who helped an elderly neighbor fix his camera.

“On a Saturday afternoon, my phone rang, a call from my senior neighbor: ‘Hi, I want to use my camera, but somehow it takes multiple pictures with different exposures. Do you know how to fix it?’ I said, ‘Let me come over to take a look.’ I went to the neighbor’s house. He is in his wheelchair holding his camera. The setting looks correct. I remembered my camera had a similar problem. I turned the mode dial a few times and it’s back to normal. I told the neighbor it’s a common problem with this brand. I’m glad that I came by to fix the problem for him.”

This week’s story comes from Rose in Madison, Wisconsin, who noticed fellow coworkers at the bus stop and decided to give them a ride, enjoying their company on the way to work.

“I used to take the bus to work every morning, but now I drive a car. One morning, I was driving to work when I recognized my neighbor and colleague walking from the bus stop to our apartment complex. I stopped my car and asked them if they needed a ride. They did. I drove them to our office. They appreciated carpooling with me, and I appreciated their company on my work commute.”

This week’s story comes from Lucas in Utah, who checks in often with his friends, goes on walks with them, and has picnics with them to help ease their minds if they are going through hard times. 

“When my friends are going through tough times, I usually try to talk and check up on them as often as I can . . . Occasionally, I do try to take my friends out on walks or picnics to try to get them to get some fresh air and perhaps distract them from their problems. Picnics always seem like the best option, because it gives us time to both talk and stuff our feelings with food!”

This week’s story is from Nina in Serbia, who remembered her friend’s words and surprised her friend with a rabbit plush to help him feel better. 

“My good friend complained to me how his anxiety has been awful lately and has kept him awake at night, and told me how he feels like he needs a silly little stuffed animal to hug at night to help. So, while I was at a bookstore looking for something to get myself, I noticed that they also sold cute stuffed bunnies and thought that I could get it for him. He loved it! I don’t know if it helped much, because he never told me, but he did say how he sleeps with it every night, which made me quite happy.”
