Stephen, a young worker, got serious heart disease unluckily. And he used to work in a big computer
company. But now he couldn't work for a long time. Thinking he could still do something for them, he
decided to be a volunteer at a Children's Hospital. Stephen loved children very much. With his love, he did
his job well. Every time he lost one of his children in hospital, he felt sad in his room alone. They died. At
that time, he would tell these sad parents that he would be with their children in heaven and he would take
care of them. His words seemed to help those parents.
There was a girl who could not walk because of a disease. She couldn't do anything and she was very
unhappy. What was worse, the doctors said that they could do little for her. Stephen decided to help her.
He started visiting her, bringing brushes and paper. He put the brush in his mouth and could do anything
she wanted. With the help of Stephen, at last she began to draw with her mouth. She and Stephen became
friends. By and by, the little girl was getting better and better. She was allowed to leave the hospital. One
day, to Stephen's surprise, she walked to see him on her own feet!
She gave him a picture she had drawn. At the top, it said:"Thank you for helping me walk. It's because
of your love."
Love can sometimes be more powerful than doctors and medicines. Love makes world more beautiful
and colorful.
Stephen died a few days later quietly after the girl gave him the picture.
