My crippled（瘸腿的）grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, completely . Do you know she'd had her accident. I had read that in an old newspaper article．
‘‘So．．．Your leg? I mean, did your leg heal(治愈)?"
“To tell you the truth my legs have been well all my life,” she said．

‘‘Very much so, and for a very good .”

I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance. I put all my heart practicing and I became very good.

I am no longer a man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.”
“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again.

The nurses pushed your grandfather outside in his ．I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. “There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to you. You are going to walk yourself.”
I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket. “Now show me you are a man.” I said．He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled(挣扎) out of that wheelchair．He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”
