It was a hot summer day and I had just pulled into the gas station to fill up my car.After filling it up，I started to walk inside to pay.That is when I noticed them.Two elderly women were standing back from their car.There was shock and fear on their faces.I looked and saw what they saw：five yellow jackets（小黄蜂） building a nest around their gas gap.I suddenly felt scared.I shared the ladies' fear.
Yellow jackets have never been friends of mine.Several times these wasps（黄蜂） have attacked me while I was cutting the grass，stinging（蛰） me each time I ran over their nests.The worst time，however，was when I was a young boy.A friend of mine and I were playing in my backyard.I must have stepped on one of their nests again because before I knew it，both of us were being chased and stung by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming.I ran to my mom with tears in my eyes.She ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease（减轻） the pain before giving us medicine to help us feel better.
Still，I knew I couldn't let fear stop me now.I reached into my pocket for a paper towel I had there.I tore out the nest with the paper towel and stepped on it while the wasps were buzzing around me.Both of the ladies thanked me for what I did.
You can't let the fear of being stung-either physically or emotionally-keep you from doing what is right.We need to love each other and change the world for the better.And the only way you can do this is through helpful acts and kindness.Don't let the fear in your life hold you back.
