A Warmhearted Couple Who Are Willing To Help In SL (Revision 1)

Since many people find it difficult to get other people's help in SL, I think I was lucky to meet a warmhearted couple who voluntarily came to help me by accident.
When I was "flying" in New York City, I saw a man and a woman standing in a room; out of curiosity, I descended beside them to see what they were doing. Suddenly, they started to talk to me. I told them I was new in SL, and they said I need a better avatar first (their avatars are really cool!). Actually I didn't really know how to change it, so they invited me to their "home" so that they could help me finish it.
Their home is a beautiful island. The man, whose name is Nerion in SL, is a French in RL; and his love (he calls her "my love"), mellie, is an American native. They bought the island in SL, and Nerion created all the things on it, naming it "Eagles island" because mellie loves eagles. Then we started to work on my avatar. I was awkward in using SL and was afraid that they would be angry at me, but they didn't; on the contrary, they patiently taught me in detail step by step. They suggested me to make my avatar taller and try different skin colors; Nerion even gave me several skin colors to choose from!
Later they guided me to look around their island and their two-floored house. In their house, they started to teach me how to use gestures. mellie gave me a lot of gestures, and Nerion somehow made me dance, we three danced together for a long while! They asked me why I used SL, I said it was for a course, and they encouraged me to "learn as much as I can in SL" because Nerion himself also used SL to practice his English.
Before I left, I thanked sincerely for their help. mellie and I had a big-hug-goodbye, and they gave me L$100 as "welcome gift", saying that I could visit them anytime. Out of curiousity, I politely asked them why they treated me so kind. They told me that they like to help new people in SL, because everyone starts as beginers; what's more, it always makes them happy when they can help those who need help. They have a value, both in RL and SL: "Making people happy is also making them happy." Here they suddenly became a bit serious. They said the problem many people have on SL is that they think they can hide behind the computers and act like a person totally different from their RL, usually just think about themselves and don't care about others, so it's very hard to trust and give real friendships in SL. That's also the reason why people have difficulties finding help in SL.
I was really touched by the couple's value; it made me not only appreciate their kindly help, but even start to respect their characters. I think I was lucky to meet them, and I'm sure I will cherish our "virtual-but-real" friendship.
