In an accident,a boy lost both his arms and his father—who was the main source of support for the family.Since then,he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother.For the sake of taking care of him,his younger brother became his shadow,never leaving him alone for years.Except for writing with his toes,he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
As the two brothers grew up together,they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel.Then one day,his younger brother wanted to leave,living his own life,as many normal people do.So he was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl,too.One night her mother,who suffered from chronic (慢性的) mental illness,disappeared.Her father went out to look for her mother,leaving her alone at home.She tried to prepare meals for her parents,only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove,resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city,showed her willingness to take care of her,she was determined to be completely independent.At school,she always studied hard.Most of all she learned to be selfreliant.
One day,the 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 own,whereas 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 wrote:My younger brother’s arms are my arms;while the girl wrote:Broken wings,flying heart.
