One day I took a bus with my girlfriend. It was so _6_ that we stood for several stops until a vacant seat was _7_ for her.

Then a pretty girl rushed towards me，saying，“Hi，where are you going？”I was so struck by the stranger that I had a hard time trying to _8_ her. Clearly she had taken me for somebody else. I returned her greeting with politeness，_9_ to give explanation to my girlfriend later.

Noticing my dialogue with somebody else，my girlfriend raised her eyes and found she was pretty. She asked jealously，“who’s she？” The pretty girl，quite _10_ of the situation，spoke out first，“Hi，let me _11_ myself. I’m Nancy，used to be _12_.Very glad to meet you.” She behaved very _13_.

But I was at a loss to search in my memory for someone called Nancy among my neighbors. I was worrying how to explain this to my girlfriend _14_ the pretty girl again turned to me，“Will you give me your cellphone number so that we can keep contact(联系) later？” I had to submit to her _15_.

Then the girl got off the bus at the next stop. A minute later I got a short _16_ on my phone from a stranger. My girlfriend _17_ my phone and read the note. It was from the girl，who said，“Just now，two thieves tried to pick your pocket. I had to act as an acquaintance to draw your attention. I should have left at the _18_ stop but gave up as I noticed these two thieves also _19_ to leave at the same stop. Because of the _20_ I delayed my departure. Now you’ll understand all I have done to you. Wish you luck.”

Ibrahim became disabled after contracting polio (小儿麻痹症) when he was three years old. At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates.  

    Despite his disability, and his parents’ doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered (缠着) my parents until they finally let me go to school.”

   Ibrahim’s parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasn’t easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.

    However, after only a year in school, Ibrahim’s education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition.

    In 2007, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. 

    “I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”

    Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55.
