Last year, I was invited to attend a party for “Tuesday’s Child,” an organization that helps children with the AIDS virus (爱滋病毒). I was asked to attend because I am on a TV show. I went there because I cared.
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 colors 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. 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 color because his own heart felt dark. I asked him why and he told me he was very sick and his mother was very sick, too. He said his sickness was not going to get better and neither was his mother’s. He looked straight into my eyes and said, “No one can help us.”
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 color. But I told him that it isn’t true that no one can help them. Other people might not make him or his mother better but they can do things like giving him or her hugs(拥抱). 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. Then I walked away, feeling sad.
As I was getting ready to go home, I felt a tug (拖拉)on my clothes. I turned around and the little boy was standing there with a smile on his face. He said, “Thank you, Madam. My heart is changing colors. It is getting brighter. I think those hugs really work.” On my way home, I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter color.
