Five-year-old Lila lives in Hood River, Oregon.

She has had cancer for three years and spent much of her life in hospitals undergoing chemotherapy (化疗). Her parents looked after her carefully.

Lately, her parents were told by the doctor that their child was too weak to receive chemo and she probably would die before Thanksgiving. Thinking it could be the last birthday party for her, her parents decided to give her a big and memorable birthday party.

With the help of many kind people and charity workers, Little Lila's birthday party went on very well on July 30th.

Lila experienced her birthday prom(毕业舞会), and even wedding ceremony all in one. Her parents wanted to give them to her. She might not live to see another. Countless people donated their time and money to make sure that everything from the food to the music and customs was perfect. Some people even came from a long way to attend the party and congratulate the little girl. Lila got to hang out with her favorite Disney princesses while dressing as Cinderella.

The sweetest of all, she even "married" her dad. Dad proposed to little Lila and held her in his arms to dance, knowing that she could never have a real wedding. Dad told a reporter: "We really thank everyone for what they've done or our family. Without their help, we probably could never have had such a big party for her. And today might be her happiest day ever. I saw she was laughing, laughing all the time. "

Tears ran down the dad's face.

After my husband died from a heart attack, my world changed all in a sudden. I just put all my effort into making a living, caring for the children and just keeping my head above water.

I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and in fact I was uncomfortable. Every unusual noise and any late-night phone call would fill me with fear. I felt unbelievably alone.

One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd (牧羊犬) on our doorstep. I became worried. Where did this dog come from? Was it safe to let the children play with a strange dog? Finally I let him sleep in the basement(地下室)until the next day, when we could search around the neighborhood for his owner. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.

The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us and I planned to take the children on a picnic without German. But we were surprised to see him jumping onto the hood (引擎盖)and looking directly into my eyes. No way was he going to be left behind. So he stayed again Sunday night. Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back till the next Friday evening. And again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived.

This repeated every weekend for almost 10 months. Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger and braver; every weekend I enjoyed his company(陪伴). Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.

I think of him often. He came when I needed him the most and stayed until I was strong enough to go on alone. I believe German was sent because he was needed, and because no matter how sad and alone we feel, somehow, somewhere, someone knows and cares.

Once a king got two nice falcons (猎鹰) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train then to fly.

After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch (树枝) of a tree quietly, just keeping still.

The king called all his falcons together and ordered them to try every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He spent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. "It is unbelievable!" shouted the king. How could you make it happen?

The farmer replied, "It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested."

It is always the same to human beings. We all have "two flying wings" in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the "branch" we are resting on breaks.
