Richard’s father died when he was five. Later he lost his mother. An old woman felt sorry for the poor boy and often helped him. Of course he had no money to go to school. He had to work for a rich farmer. The man paid him nothing except food and clothes . He found some old books near the school and taught himself to read and write.

.It connected the village and the town. One morning people found there was a big stone on it. It stopped them from going to town. They had to move it away, or they had to cross the mountain if they had something to do in the town. But the stone weighed thirty tons at least and the strongest young men couldn’t do that. Richard looked at it carefully for a while and said, “I have a way to move it away.” But few men believed him. Night fell and people went home. Only the boy stayed there. To their surprise, the villagers found the stone was gone the next morning. They didn’t know which spirit had moved it away .

“How could he?” the rich farmer called out, “ He’s only fifteen! He couldn’t move it at all.”

“He dug a big hole beside the stone” said the old woman, “And then he could easily push it into the hole!” Looking at each other, the farmer couldn’t say a word.

There seemed to be nothing strange in the village.

An old woman said Richard had done it all.

There was a narrow path between two mountains.

But the boy didn’t lose heart.

Some farmer even laughed at the boy.

The boy hoped he could do something for the villagers some day.

They discussed for a long time, but nobody knew what to do.

A Strange Greeting, a True Feeling. Last week I was invited to a doctor’s meeting at the Ruth hospital for incurables. In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn't long to   36 , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close mine on the floor.
“Frank！” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t   37   , as I knew, but all the time   38  his foot against mine.
My   39   raced back more than thirty years to the   40   days of 1941, when I was a student in London. The   41  was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about hundred other people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son Frank.
42   wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got to   43  each other very well. Frank West   44  me because he wasn’t   45 , not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, but he had   46  of a mind than a baby has. His “ 47 ” consisted of rough sounds—sounds of pleasure or anger and   48 more. Mrs. West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of course, because Frank   49 on her entirely. He needed all the   50  of a baby.
One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had been flattened by a 500-pounder. She   51 nearly everything she owned.
When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped the   52 ones. So before we   53   that morning, I stood beside Frank and   54  my right foot against his. They were about the same size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for frank. But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against mine. After that, his   55  to me was always the same.

Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side. But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor.

Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls -- and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. "I wasn't a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something different with my life," he says.

He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender. "My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter.' “But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft.

Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony of Hell's Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay.

His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America.

Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary.

Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three -- Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen.

At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. "If you have something you want to do in life, don't think about the problems," he says, "think about other ways to get it done."
