I am 13 years old and in eighth grade． One day， when I was walking home from school， I saw some words on a fence（栅栏）of a house． It said， "Happiness is a direction， not a destination（终点）．" I had been having a bad day and just reading this made me a little happier．
I saw the quote（格言） every day while walking home from school． One day I decided to write one of my favourite quotes on the fence for someone else to see． But when I came back to the fence， I saw another quote under mine． I added another， and we kept at this pattern for quite a while．
A few days later， when I was writing another quote on the fence， the old man， one of my neighbours， who owned the fence， saw me． He came out and I was afraid he would be angry with me． He was not known to be a friendly person． He looked at me angrily and then read the quotes on the fence． Without saying a word， he went back inside． I was terrified for a while， but when I went back to the fence， I noticed two words had been added： "Thank you．"
Later， I saw the old man in his front yard． He called me over and told me that he was glad to see that young people still had values． We are now good friends． I still don't know who wrote that very first quote， but I'd like to say "thank you" to that unknown hero．
