Question

Karen had a son, Michael and she would have another baby soon. Michael was happy to be a brother. Every day he sang a song to the baby.

Later Michael’s little sister was born. But she was not in good condition. The days passed by.

The little girl got worse. The doctor told the parents there was very little hope.

Then Michael kept asking his parents to let him see his sister. “I want to sing to her,” he said. But kids are never allowed in ICU(重症监护室).

Finally Karen decided to take Michael to see his little sister. The nurse refused Michael at first. But Karen said if he didn’t see his sister. He would never see her alive.

Michael looked at his weak sister. After a moment, he began to sing, “You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray...”

The baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse rate (脉搏) and breathing began to calm down.

“ Keep on singing, Michael,” Karen encouraged his son.

“You never know, dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away...”
