Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I  36 a telephone call from a woman who could not stop  37 as she told me that one of the stories in my book had saved her son from committing suicide.(徭姫) In closing she called me a 38 .

That  39  me thinking about what a hero really is. Was I a hero  40 I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I  41  a story that saved someone¨s life?

Today I decided to look up the word ^hero ̄ in the dictionary to see  42 what it meant. It  43 ^a person who does something brave ̄. As I read on, it also said ^ a person who is good and noble ̄.

That statement 44 me more than the part about being  45 . So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I  46 to open and hold the door for someone as a courtesy (撰嘆) . As they passed me by, I said, ^How are you today? ̄ Most of the time that would be no big deal,  47 this time let¨s say it was for someone who was deeply  48 and near the end of the rope.

I was in such a condition after my marriage of twenty years ended. I was within hours trying to get up enough  49 to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had  50 me a card in the mail which told me how  51 they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

Similarly many children come out of the orphanages (溝隅垪) 52 a very hard and bitter attitude against the world, but the gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten.  53 , most of them will never hurt anyone because of the  54 shown to them by those of us who cared. If it 55 , we will also become ^heroes ̄.
