Girl A (the older one ), returning from the hospital’s ICU to her bed, was scared and almost passed out at the first looking like a ghost, as she saw herself reflected by the stainless steel railings around her bed. She said,” I met a ghost on the railing. How horrible! I was really terrified, but I didn’t collapse(崩溃) completely. When is it that one feels grateful for his or her survival? It must be now like this. Thank goodness! I am still alive.”

The first phone call that Girl A gave to Girl B (the younger one) raised a question: “Do you know why I am so glad?” She gave the answer without waiting for a reply, “ Because when I got hold of a loop(吊圈) on a bar in the bus to make myself stand like others, I felt very happy that I had a pair of hands.”

Girl B’s words were also very moving. She replied, “Hey, you know, don’t be surprised by what I’m going to say. It was true. Let me ask you first. Do I look pretty? No, of course not. But before 11 years old I was pretty. I has snow-white skin, big eyes and a round face. I was also a wild kid. I think I’d grow up naughty if I was not properly educated. I would fall in love with other boys and become a bad girl, if I hadn’t met the disaster. I disliked going to school. I’d prefer playing all day long. If there were not such a fire, I wouldn’t have had chances of meeting so many kind strangers that help me to realize how wonderful life is. If there were not such an accident, I would grow into a beautiful lady. But now I am more considerate, grateful, hard-working and independent of others. Such a person as I am today will always be pretty all my life.”
