Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed a boy ahead of him．He had tripped（絆倒）and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with some clothes, a baseball bat and a glove.

Mark knelt （跪）down and helped the boy pick up the things．Since they were going the same way, he offered to carry some things for the boy.
