A few years ago, I went to Disneyland with my sister and her two children. At that time, they were probably 10 and 8.
We were walking down Main Street to go across to Downtown Disney when John, the younger of my two nephews, 29 walking. He stood there for a few seconds with his eyes looking across the street. As I started to walk towards him to tell him to 30 so we could stay with the group, he started walking across the street.
I was just standing there thinking and trying to 31 what he would do. When he got to the other side of the street, he stopped in front of a couple and their crying child. If I had to guess, this kid was probably around the same
32 as John, if not a little bit younger.
I saw them talking to each other for a moment, then John 33 his balloon that he had just got within 10 minutes to the kid. The parents looked absolutely 34 . The kid took the balloon, stopped crying, smiled at John and said something to him.
Then John came walking back over to me, totally happy. The parents were still watching him as if he was a miracle(神奇的人).And the kid was smiling and talking 35 to his parents, pointing at my nephew. By the time he got back over to me, I was obviously confused. So I asked him, “What was that about?”
John answered calmly, “He looked sad. He shouldn’t be sad at Disneyland, so I gave him my 36 to make him happy.”
Then I asked, “You gave him your balloon?”
“Yes. His balloon might have flown away, or he didn’t get one, 37
mom bought me lots of toys, so it’s OK.” he answered.
To me, it’s hard to imagine that this kid, this 8-year-old kid, did that.
The story is definitely not as 38 as some of the other stories we have ever read, but to this day it still kind of blows me away.
