I believe in miracles(奇迹)because I've seen so many of them.One day,a patient was referred to me who was one hundred and two years old.“There’s a in my upper jaw,”she said.“I told my own dentist it's nothing,but he I come to see you”
Her eighty-year-old son accompanied her.He would to add something,but she stopped him.She wanted to tell everything herself.I found a large cancer that spread over much of the of her mouth.A careful examination later that it was a particularly bad sort of cancer.
During her next appointment,I explained to her the of the problem. She clasped (紧握)my hand in hers and said,“I know you’re worried about me,but I’m just .”
I thought otherwise.After considerable on my part,and kindness on her part because she wanted to me,she agreed to have me refer her to a cancer surgeon.She saw him,but as I expected, treatment.
About six months later she returned to my office,still energetic and .
“How are you?” I asked.
“I’m just fine,honey,”she responded high spirits.“When can I get started on fixing my dentures(假牙)?”
Surprised to see her at all,I answered ,“Let me take a look in your mouth and we’ll see about it. ”
I couldn’t believe my eyes.The cancer that had nearly the entire roof of her mouth was gone—only one small area of redness .
I had read of such things happening,but had seen them with my own eyes.That was my first miracle.Since then I've seen many others,because they keep getting to see.In fact,miracles are daily events for me now.And people are a miracle, through them we have a chance to know ourselves and to the miracles of one another.
Since my first miracle,I've come to understand that the time and place for a miracle is we choose to find it.

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I'm left . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, children from different races and religions played and studied in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just our differences. Perhaps,our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well or otherwise.

When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail's family later returned to their village, and I touch with him.
One spring afternoon in 1983, I stopped a taxi in Kuala Lumpur. I my destination. The driver acknowledged my but did not move off. Instead, he looked at me. “Raddar?" he said, using my childhood nickname (绰号).I was astonished at being so addressed (称呼).Unexpectedly! It was Ismail! Even after two we still recognized each other.

If we can allow our children to be without prejudice, they'll build friendships with people,regardless of race or religion, who will be their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote, “We happy few, We band of brothers".
