A Brother Like That

　　A friend of mine named Paul received an auto－mobile from his brother as a Christmas present. 1 Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shiny new car, 2 it. “Is this your car, Mister?” he asked.

　　Paul nodded. “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was 3 . “You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you 4 . Boy I wish…” He hesitated.

　　Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to 5 he had a brother like that. But what the boy said moved Paul a lot.

　　“A wish,” the boy went 6 , “That I could be a brother like that.”

　　Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then he added, “Would you like to take a 7 in my automobile?”

　　“Oh yes, I'd love that.”

　　After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Mister, would you mind 8 in front of my house”

　　Paul 9 a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home 10 a big automobile. But Paul was wrong 11 . “Will you stop where those two steps are?” the boy asked.

　　He ran up the steps. Then in a little 12 Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残废的) 13 . He sat him down on the bottom step and pointed to the car.

　　The baby's arms and legs were shortened, and he had only three toes on his right foot and his left leg was cut off.

　　The doctor said Roger 2 from born disability, only one out of 90,000 children born in the United States. The doctor said that Roger would probably never be able to walk or 3 himself. Fortunately Roger's parents didn't 4 the doctor.

　　“My parents always 5 me that I was only as handicapped(残疾) as I wanted to be,” said Roger. “They never allowed me to feel sorry for myself or 6 advantage of people because of my handicap.” “Once I got into 7 , my school papers were continually late,” explained Roger, who had to hold his pencil with both hands to write 8 . “I asked Dad to write a note to my teacher, 9 for a two－day extension on my homework. 10 , Dad made me start writing my paper two days earlier!”

　　Roger's father always 11 him to get involved in sports; teaching Roger to catch and throw a volleyball, and play backyard football after school. At the age of 12, Roger 12 to win a place on the school football team.

　　Before every game, Roger would visualize(设想) his 13 of scoring a touchdown. Then one day he got his chance. The ball landed in his arms and off, he ran as fast as he could on his artificial leg 14 the goal line, his coach and teammates 15 wildly. But at tenyard line, a guy from the other team 16 up with Roger, grabbing his left ankle(脚踝). Roger tried to pull his artificial leg 17 , but instead it ended up being pulled off.

　　“The only difference between you and me is that you can see my 18 , but I can't see yours. We all have them. When people ask me how I've been able to 19 my physical handicap, I tell them that I haven't overcome 20 . I've simply learned what I can't do－such as play the piano or eat with chopsticks－but more importantly, I've learned what I can do. Then I do what I can with all my heart and soul,” said Roger in the end.
