Doctors told his mum that Andrew would never walk again. His legs had been badly burnt and cut.“All I could move were my arms and head,”he said.

For a boy who loved playing outdoors it was very difficult. He would need much rest to get back his strength. The pain and bad dreams he was having didn’t make things any easier. After a couple of weeks, he was allowed to go home but he had to spend the next six weeks in bed.

With the help of his doctor, Andrew started doing some simple exercises for his

legs. This brave young boy returned to school after only two months.

Looking back on the accident, Andrew says it has helped him to decide what he wants to do with his life.“When I’m older, I’ll go around schools and tell students about my accident. I want to help others.”He believes that children can do anything if they put their minds to it. He often tells his friends.“You can do anything, because I did.”

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist（心理学家）in England, David was brought into my office. His face was pale（苍白的）and he looked at his own feet.

C. Cooking dinner. D.

B. He will never give up.

D. He loves his family very much.

David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on.

How could I help him?

David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder. “Come back next week if you like,” I said.

He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. It seemed as if he liked to be with me. But why didn’t he ever look at me?

“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. Months later, when I was looking at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. “It’s your turn,” he said. After that day, David started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times. Now he had really started to live his life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned a lot from him. I learned how time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him. All they need is a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch and an ear that listens.

One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind. Please help me.”

There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said, but in a different way.”

What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.” Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.

The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.

The first is: Treasure what you have. Someone else has less. Try your best to
