very much, so she felt very sorry for herself.
She went to each sick child one after another and said good-night, until she came to one little boy,
Dickey. He was eleven years old, but he was already able to talk like an adult ( 成人). Poor Dickey had
a very serious illness, and now he was hardly able to move any part of his body except his hands. Joan
