Passage 1
He was struggling to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I
should help him.
I did, and he was grateful.
“Thank you,” he said.
“I’m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to
reach,” I said.
He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His
arms and legs were twisted terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest
of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how
you reacted to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel
comfortable.
I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.
“Nice shoes,” he said.
“Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before,” I said.
“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.
“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.
“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in
their eyes. I see it in their feet.” he said. “If people keep moving
their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with
me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable.
“What about me? I asked.
“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level.
I was the one who was nervous.” he said. “I don’t normally have someone
look me in the eye.”
“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him.
“My old face is nothing to brag about.” he said.
“But that smile is so big.”
Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.

Passage 3
One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared. Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage!” “What’s courage?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed. “Courage is the brave breath,” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear. Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”
