Stephen used to work in a company. Unfortunately (不幸地), he got serious heart disease(疾病). He couldn't work for a long time. Thinking he could
still do something for others, he decided to be a volunteer at a Children's
Hospital. Stephen loved children very much. With his love, he did his job well.
Sometimes he lost his children. They died. At that time, he would tell these
sad parents that he would soon be with their children in heaven (天堂) and he would take care of them. His words seemed to
help those parents.
There was a girl who could not walk because of a
disease. She couldn't do anything and she was very sad. What was worse, the
doctors said that they could do little for her. Stephen decided to try to help
her. He started visiting her, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He put the
brush in his mouth and began to draw. He didn't use his hands at all. Only his
head would move. He always told her that she could do anything she wanted.
At last she began to draw with her mouth. She and
Stephen became friends. By and by, the little girl was getting better and
better. She was allowed to leave the hospital. One day. to Stephen's great
surprise, she walked to see him on her own feet! She gave him a picture she had
drawn. At the top, it read: “Thank you for helping me walk. It's all because of
your love.”
Love can sometimes be more powerful than doctors and
medicines. Love makes our world more beautiful and colorful.
Stephen died a few days after the girl gave him the
picture.
