As a new kind of radio transient sources detected at $\sim 1.4$ GHz, fastradio bursts are specially characterized by their short durations and highintensities. Although only ten events are detected so far, fast radio burstsmay actually frequently happen at a rate of $\sim 10^{3}$ ---$10^4~\rm{sky}^{-1}~\rm{day}^{-1}$. We suggest that fast radio bursts can beproduced by the collisions between neutron stars and asteroids. This model cannaturally explain the millisecond duration of fast radio bursts. The energeticsand event rate can also be safely accounted for. Fast radio bursts thus may beone side of the multifaces of the neutron star-small body collision events,which are previously expected to lead to X-ray/gamma-ray bursts orglitch/anti-glitches.
