     Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer (志愿者). The 29-year-old American was not sure if he
had the skills or a strong feeling for it. However, he went to work at an orphanage (孤兒院) in Nepal. His first
thought was to make people impressed.
     "I thought that if I volunteered just once. I could retell the story over and over," Grennan said in a
Huffington Post article.
     However, his three-month stay it the orphanage turned into in unusual experience. It was 2004 and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip, His first three months were spent in Nepal.
     When he arrived in the village, he knew nothing about the children or the local culture. When he opened
the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home, he was faced by the excited children. The young American
ended up caring for 18 children. He later discovered that they were trafficked (被拐賣的) children. So he
walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids' families,"I started walking with photos of
the kids." he told the Reuters reporter."I would show up in villages and show photographs around. I went with
24 photos, and I found 24 families."
     At the same time, he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
     Grennan said,"Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives."
     He also encouraged others to do what he had done. He believes that volunteering needs only making
decisions to show up.
     Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him. His book, Little Prince, came out last week.

       One day,  as l walked through my office,  I was taught a useful lesson about life. As l opened the

of the sound of the door opening, the moth flew immediately out.  There is a window on the ceiling（天花板）.  The moth tried its best to get out through the window glass.
       I raised the garage door wider to help the moth to escape from the garage.  However, it tried to fly
higher and farther from the door and got trapped（困）in a spider's web. Worrying that the beautiful
moth would become a spider's dinner,  I picked up a broom to help it fight against the spider's web.  
However, it became even more frightened.  After it got away from the web, the moth pumped(扇動(dòng)）
his wings hard and ran into the glass.  But no matter how hard “tried”, the moth remained in the cage
of the garage.
       I left the garage with the door open.  I thought by simply turning his focus（集中注意）to one side, he CO Lild escape the garage through the door.  Sometimes, people need to choose the right way before applying effort（努力）.
