Mary Buendia once spent a day in an airplane, looking for a cat. She didn't find it that day. The plane flew around all over the world for three weeks with the cat on board. She finally found it in the cargo hold and sent it home first-class. Another time ,she found two suitcases full of birds from Turkey. But her strangest experience was when she pulled a snake out of a man's pants.
Mary Buendia is an animal health inspector at JFK Airport in New York. She takes care of all the animals that pass through the airport and checks that they are healthy. In the Animal Health Center, there are areas for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. There is also an area for very big animals. The biggest they ever had was a black rhino. "It was no problem." she says.
At the center, they receive all types of animals monkeys, wild cats, poisonous spiders. It's impossible for one person to know about all of these, but there are 20 people working with Mary. Among them, they understand how to take care of the animals. She recently had to feed a group of toucans, which are rare birds. "luckily," she says, "there is a supermarket nearby which is open 24 hours. I had to go at 2 a.m to buy bananas.
Mary often works at night. "It's quiet between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m." she says, "because we don't have night flights. We try to give the animals a quiet night." Mary clearly loves her job. "You never know what the day will bring,"she says, and goes off to feed the birds.

Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just
then，an air hostess came up to her and asked. "Would you mind changing your seat? A man
would like to sit with his wife." The only available seat was next to a girl with her arms broke,
a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. "I don't want to sit there," Mary thought
immediately. But a soft voice spoke, "She needs help." Finally, Mary moved to that seat.
The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for
treatment.
When the snack and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary
considered offering to feed her but hesitated（犹豫）, as it seemed too impolite to offer a service
to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily's need was more important. Mary offered to
help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed . They became closer
and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary's heart had warmed, and the
time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.
Mary was very glad that she had sat next to Emily and fed her. Love sometimes goes
beyond human borders（边界）and removes the fears that keep people away. When we reach our
hands to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.

Through “ Save the Children”, you can help Maria's mother get the tools and ways she needs to turn their poor food into a good dinner and get the money she needs to buy clothes and school things for Maria.
