英文美文分享: The Feather in the Library（图书馆里的羽毛）

“Small things become great when done with love.” – Mother Teresa

“小事若以爱之名完成，也会变得伟大。” — 特蕾莎修女

At the edge of a quiet college library worked an old janitor named Mr. Ramos.

在一所宁静的大学图书馆角落里，住着一位年迈的清洁工，名叫拉莫斯先生。

No one knew much about him, except that the floors always shone and the chairs were always aligned.

没人太了解他，只知道地板总是锃亮，椅子总是整齐。

Each morning, he left a small white feather on a randomdesk.

每天清晨，他会在某张桌上留下一根小白羽毛。

At first, students thought it strange.

起初，学生们觉得这举动很奇怪。

Then one day, a stressed-out student found the feather and took it as a sign to keep going.

直到有一天，一位备考焦虑的学生发现羽毛，把它当成坚持下去的鼓励。

She told others.

她把这事告诉了其他人。

Soon, students began searching for the feather on bad days.

从此，学生们在心情低落时会寻找那根羽毛。

Years later, when Mr. Ramos passed away, dozens of alumni returned for his memorial.

多年后，拉莫斯先生离世，几十位校友回校为他送别。

Each one brought a feather.

每个人手中都带着一根羽毛。

Summary: "Even the quietest acts can echo through generations."

总结：“哪怕最轻微的善举，也能穿越时光激起回响。”
