please read the story carefully,and tell me what are you thinking about when you read the whole story~Don't be shy,just make your imagination fly in your sky!


   
     He lost his arms in an accident that claimed his father's life—who was the main source of support for the family.  Since thenhe has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of himhis younger brother became his shadownever leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toeshe was completely unable to do anything in his life.

 
      One late nighthe suffered from diarrhea1 and had to wake up his younger brother. His younger brother accompanied him into the toilet and then went back the dorm to wait. But being so tiredhis younger brother fell asleepleaving him on the toilet for two hours till the teacher on duty discovered him. As the two brothers grew up togetherthey had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one dayhis younger brother wanted to live separate from himliving his own lifeas many normal people do. So he was heart-broken and didn't know what to do.

A similar misfortune befell a girltoo. One night her motherwho suffered from chronic2 mental illness disappeared. So her father went out looking for her motherleaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parentsonly to overturn the kerosene3 light on the stoveresulting in a fire which took her hands away.

Though her elder sister who was studying in another cityshowed her willingness to take care of hershe was determined to be completely independent. At schoolshe always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self-reliant. Once she wrote the following in her composition“I am lucky. Though I lost my armsI still have legsI am lucky. Though my wings are brokenmy heart can still fly.”

One daythe boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his ownwhereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wroteMy younger brother's arms are my armswhile the girl wrote Broken wingsflying heart.

They had both endured the same ordeal4but their different attitudes determined the nature of their lives. It is true that life is unpredictable5. Disasters can strike at any time. How you handle misfortune when confronted with itis the true test of your character. If you choose only to complain and escape from the ordealit will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strongthe hardship will turn out to be a fortune on which new hopes will arise.
