A 13-year-old American boy was born without fingers on his left hand, but with the help of his new 3D printed hand, he has become a member of a baseball team!

Dawson Riverman is a sports loving teenager. He was born without fingers on his left hand, but he has never let that stop him. He has always found a way to live with it. Last year, he got a hand created by a 3D printer and it has changed his life.

Corban University invited Dawson, his family and his best friend to their home opener (主场揭幕赛). Dawson signed a letter and joined the baseball team.

“They’ve just opened up their hearts to us and just made it an amazing journey.”

His parents were just as excited as their son. Watching the boy, his best friend and younger brother warm up with the team was more than they hoped for. The family even got to throw out the first pitch (投球).

While the team can get encouragement from Dawson, his family hopes Dawson will draw more confidence from the experience. It’s something his new hand has already given him. Dawson is a man of few words, but the look on his face said it all!

Dawson’s mother says they plan to develop a program to teach students to print 3D hands for other children.

People all over the world make edible (可食用的) homes and villages out of gingerbread (姜饼). Gingerbread can be smooth, soft bread, but if you want to build a house out of it, you make it as a cookie.

Gingerbread probably came from the Middle East or Asia. People there have been making it for over a thousand years. It is said that gingerbread arrived in Europe in the tenth century. A man named Gregory Makar brought the recipe (食谱) from Armenia to France.

Although gingerbread became popular in many parts of Europe, it really caught on in Germany. After the Brothers Grimm wrote the story of Hansel and Gretel, Germans began to make gingerbread houses. Later, when Germans moved to America, they brought this tradition with them. And it became a tradition for many Americans, especially around Christmastime.

In 1991, the city of Bergen, Norway, started a gingerbread tradition of its own. Every winter, children aged eleven and under are invited to build a city out of gingerbread.

There is also a gingerbread house competition in North Carolina, America. It’s called the National Gingerbread House Competition. Anyone aged five or older can join in.

From cookies to houses, and from Armenia to America, gingerbread has changed a lot over the past one thousand years. And people keep imagining new uses for the delicious dessert.
