Question

    Many years ago my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terrible illness. He was unable to work at a steady job. But he wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children hospital. My dad loved kids. He would talk to them and play with them. Sometimes, he would lose one of the kids. In certain cases, he would give comfortto the sad parents of these children.

One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed (使……瘫痪) her from the neck down. My dad decided to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up against a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn't use his hands at all. Only his head would move. He would visit her whenever he could paint for her. All the while he would tell her," See, you can do anything you set your mind to."

Eventually, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was discharged (允许出院). My dad also left the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Some time later after my dad had recovered and returned to work, he was at the volunteer counter one day and noticed the front door open. In came the little girl who had been paralyzed, but this time she was walking. She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tightly. She gave my dad a picture she had done using her hands. At the bottom it read, "Thank you for helping me walk."
