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,"

To  20   Babe Ruth, of course, was not possible (可能的). Babe Ruth was as important a man in America as the president himself,  21  he was the most famous baseball player in the game.

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."

Hearing these words, Johnny was moved to tears.

For Johnny this was the beginning of a new life, one he thought he would never see. To the   24   of his doctors, young Johnny walked out of the hospital on his own a few weeks later. He was also   25  live a healthy life-all because of the present of Babe Ruth.
