THE PROMPT:
Tell a story that you believe shows the power of uniting people, building bridges, or orienting us to what we share and the common good.

My heartbeat rings in my eardrums as the eighteen Mexican children I am supervising flood the playground, heaving water balloons at one another and screaming in fast Spanish. A young girl scrambles toward me and screams the three words I would learn to fear: “Aquí, toma esto!” In the moment before the water balloon smacks my arm and explodes on my shirt, I realize the only thing worse than being in charge of a herd of children throwing water at one another is being the victim of a group of children throwing water at one another.
It is important to note that, having immigrated from China, I struggled to understand basic English- let alone Spanish. Hours earlier, I haphazardly volunteered to babysit for a local church. Unbeknownst to me, the children at the Mexican church only spoke Spanish. It seemed I could never overcome the language barrier that embodied cultural differences.
Forced to lead among people who could not understand me, I resorted to the universal language of promised piggyback rides and Hershey’s kisses in order to express authority.
As the adults listen to the sermon in a hushed circle, their children run around outside. Frustrated, I quickly Google translate aquí toma esto (“here, take this”), making a mental note to duck whenever I heard the phrase.

“you are so lucky!”,I yelled,as the little boy was about to cry.

He looked up and saw me, frozed for a moment.

I started to make the story.(may my nose will not grow)
“In my country,people will splash water on each other to show their blessings.
Beacuse a special kinds of elves which will bring luck to people living in the water.We call it “Water Spirit”.If water elves want to give you blessing, they will jump on you and sure, you will get wet.You know, we say the water from elves washes away bad luck. But only a very small number of people were able to gain the acceptance of them.So I was flabbergasted when I saw that elves jumped on you!"
‘Wowww ! really?’ the little boy said,looking down at the water balloon.
“He has ran away.”I continued to make this story,while other children gathered around me and been interested in “Spirit”.
Becoming a leader of a herd of children again now，I rekindled the hope.
“A boy may be more likely to get the nod, if he will be more virtuous.”
“What’s more,victims of the water shortages,the number of Water Spirit are becoming increasingly scarce.”
“That’s too bad. I love Spirit.”A little girl yelled.
"So In addition to be kind, we need to saving water."I added.
The children made a mental note of it，not wishing to wasting water，they decided to play other games-----“safter” games.

"Nice.(●ˇ∀ˇ●) "I said to myself.
