Johnny Sylvester, eleven years old, was in bed in the hospital. A few days ago, when he was　 16　 in a football game, he fell and his head hit the ground. The doctors thought he might never get well.

"He seems to have given up 　　17　　 . So the medicine won't 18　 　. Maybe he needs something else," Said one of the doctors. "When I visit Johnny, all he　 19　 says is that he would like to meet Babe Ruth,"

The next day Johnny's father managed (设法) to　 tell Babe Ruth about the story of Johnny on the phone.　 Twenty-four hours later, while Johnny 　　22　 　in his hospital bed, in walked Babe Ruth.　 Young Johnny couldn't believe it really was Babe.

Babe Ruth 　　23　 　down at Johnny's bedside and said, "Now listen, kid, you've got to get well. I've bought you a new American League baseball. You must start throwing it again."
