| Three men travelling on a train began a conversation about the world"s greatest wonders. "In my opinion," the first man said, "the Egyptian (埃及的) pyramids ( 金字塔) are the world"s greatest wonder.

| Last year, I was invited to attend a party for "Tuesday"s Child", an organization that helps children with the AIDS virus. I was asked to attend because I am on a TV show. I went there because I care. At the party, they had all kinds of small rooms. I got into a special one. In this room, anyone could paint a square. They gave everyone paints in bright, beautiful colours and asked the kids to paint something beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw the pictures were all bright, except one. The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty, and lifeless. It lacked the bright colours that other children used. At first I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his heart was that colour because his own heart felt dark. I asked him why and he told me that he was very sick and his mother was very sick, too. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better and neither was his mother"s. He looked straight into my eyes and said, "There is nothing anyone can do to help." I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certainly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand why he had made his heart a dark colour. But I told him that it isn"t true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not make him or his mother better but we can do things like giving him or her hugs. Then I hugged him for a long time. I thought my own heart would burst with the love I felt for this sweet little boy. After that, I asked him if he felt any better. He said he did, but he was still sick and nothing would change that. I walked away feeling sad. As I was getting ready to head home, I felt a tug on my jacket. I turned around and the little boy was standing there with a smile on his face. He told me, "My heart is changing colours. It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really work." On my way home, I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter colour. | |||
