　　One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet．He held a sign which said, “I am blind．Please help me．”

　　There were only a few coins(硬币)in the hat．A man was walking by．He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat．He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it．He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words．

　　Soon the hat began to fill up．A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy．That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were．The boy recognized his footsteps and ask, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write? ”

　　The man said, “I only wrote the truth．I said what you said, but in a different way．”

　　What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day, but I can't see it．”

　　Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

　　Of course both signs told people the boy was blind．But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat．The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind．

　　The first sign simply said the boy was blind, while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind．

　　There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story．

　　The first is：Treasure(珍惜)what you have．Someone else has less．Try your best to help those who need your help．

　　The second is： Be creative．Think differently．There is always a better way．

　　In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip(点滴)above her to fight her bone cancer．Over her bald(秃的)head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes．But the third grader's cheery dressing didn't mask her pain and weary eyes．

　　Then a visitor showed up．“Do you want to write a song? ” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers．Simran stared．“Have you ever written a poem? ” Anita Kruse continued．“Well, yes, ” Simran said．

　　Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone．“Some bird soaring through the sky, ” she said softly．“Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling(鸣, 唱)birds, and finally the girl's voice．Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song．

　　That was the beginning of Anita Kruse's project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs．As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”．

　　The effect on the kids has been great．One teenage girl, curling(蜷缩)in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written．A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin's disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It．

　　“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the badness of their illnesses, ” says Anita Kruse．“But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families．”

　　Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free．From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour．

　　One day a young lady walked into a hat shop．“Good morning, madam,”said the shopkeeper with a smile．“Can I help you?”“Yes, please,”said the young lady．“There is a green hat with red flowers on it in the window．Would you please take it out of the window?”“Certainly, madam,”said the man happily,“I shall be very pleased to do that for you．”Usually ladies looked at a lot of hats before they finally chose one．So the shopkeeper was happy because he thought he could sell that hat without much trouble．

　　“Do you want it with a box, madam?”he asked．

　　“Oh, no,”said the lady,“I'm not going to buy it．I only want you to take it out of the window．I have to pass your shop every day, and I always feel sick when I see that ugly thing．”
