　　I opened my new patient's chart and headed for her room．My son, Eric, had just brought home a disappointing report card, and my daughter, Shannon, and I had argued again about her getting a driver's license．For the next eight hours I wanted to throw myself into helping people who I knew had much more to worry about than I did．Rebekah mother of three lovely little girls, was only 32, admitted for chemotherapy after breast-cancer surgery, When I gave her an in injection, Rebekah shut her eys tightely and murmured a prayer until it was over．Then she smiled and squeezed my hand．“Before you go, could you get my Bible from the table? " I handed her the worn book．"Do you have a favorite Bible verse? " she asked．"Jesus wept．John 11∶35．" "Such a sad one, " she said．"Why? ""It makes me feel closer to Jesus, knowing he also experienced human sorrow．"　Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and started flipping through her Bible as I shut the door quietly behind me．

　　During the following months, her hospital stays became frequent and she worried about her children．One day when I entered her room, I found her talking into a tape recorder．She picked up a notebook and held it out to me．"I'm making a tape for my daughters, " she said．I read the list on her pad：starting school, confirmation, turning 16, first date, graduation．While I worried how to help her deal with death, she was planning for her children's future．She usually waited until the early hours of the morning to record the tapes so she could be free from interruptions．She filled them with family stories and advice, trying to cram a lifetime of love into a few precious hours．Finally, every item in her notes had been checked off and she entrusted the tapes to her husband．

　　I often wondered what I would say in her place．My kids joked that I was like an FBI agent, with my constant questions about where they'd been and who they'd been with．Where, I thought, are my words of encouragement and love?

　　It was three o'clock one afternoon when I got an urgent call from the hospital．Rebekah wanted me to come immediately with a blank tape．She was breathing hard when I entered her room．I slipped the tape into the recorder and held the microphone to her lips．"Ruthie, Hannah, Molly, this is the most important tape．" She held my hand and closed her eyes．"Someday your daddy will bring home a new mommy．Please make her feel special．Show her how to take care of you．Ruthie, honey, help her get your Brownie uniform ready each Tuesday．Hannah, tell her you don't want meat sauce on your spaghetti．Molly, don't get mad if there's no apple juice．Drink something else．It's okay to be sad, sweeties．Jesus cried too．He knows about sadness and will help you to be happy again．Remember, I'll always love you．I shut off the recorder and Rebekah sighed deeply．"Thank you, Nan, "You'll give this one to them, won't you? " she murmured as she slid into sleep．

　　A time would come when the tape would be played for Rebekah's children, but right then, after I smoothed Rebekah's blanket, I got in my car and hurried home．I thought of how my Shannon also liked her sauce on the side and suddenly that quirk, which had annoyed me so many times, seemed to make her so much more precious．That night the kids didn't go out; they sat with me long after the spaghetti sauce had dried onto the dishes．And we talked, without interrogations, without complaints, late into the night．

　　Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they supply him with wood and other products; they gave him shade, and they help to prevent drought and floods．

　　Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．Eager to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he had lost the best friends of his．And besides, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees, so the forests slowly disappear．

　　This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees, their roots break up soil, allowing the rain to sink in; and also bind(固定)the soil, thus preventing from being washed away; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich topsoil．With the top-soil gone, nothing remains but worthless desert．
