Ordinary Heroes平凡的英雄

        My uncle lived a well-to-do life, a peaceful one, neither that poor nor that rich. In order to support his family better, he got another job to do in his spare time. He helped an old lady with her meals as a cook could manage easily. He would not only cook for her but also chat with her to make her last days tolerable, even enjoyable.
        However, one Sunday morning found her pouring the boiling water into a tiny teacup with shaking hands. She could not hold the thermos steadily and the bottle was about to fall. On seeing this, my uncle jumped into action. Without thinking twice, he dashed to grab the falling bottle. He prevented the lady from being burnt by the steaming hot water, though his own hands got seriously damaged.Without complaining, he comforted her, as he didn't want to see her feeling guilty. Later he reflected, “I was meant to help her. This is exactly what I should do.”
        Now the old lady passed away, leaving a note which said, “My dear, you are more than a cook; you are also my friend, my son and my savior. You shall inherit half of my property as a reward for your kindness to an old soul.”
        Maybe a hero doesn't exist everywhere around us, but occasionally we will come across one. And they all have something in common---responsibility, which will turn an ordinary person into a hero.

       我叔叔过着平静的生活，既不穷也不富。为了更好地养家，他在业余时间又找了一份工作，照顾一位老太太吃饭，因为身为厨师的他很容易应付，他不仅为她做饭，还和她聊天，让她能在最后的日子里愉快度过。一个星期天早上，叔叔发现她用颤抖的手把开水倒进一个小杯里，她拿不稳保温瓶，瓶子就要掉下来了。看到这个，我叔叔立即跑去抓起落下的瓶子，尽管他自己的手受到了严重的烫伤，却没有因此抱怨，反而安慰老太太。老太太去世后，留下一张纸条，上面写着：“亲爱的，你不仅仅是一个厨师，你还是我的朋友，我儿子和我的救世主。你要接受我一半的产业，作为你对一个老灵魂恩惠的奖赏。”也许英雄并不存在于我们周围，但偶尔我们却会遇到。他们都有共同点——责任感，将一个普通人变成英雄。
