| Adding some colour
1 “Excuse me, may I have a purple crayon, please?” five-year-old Leah asked a nurse. “I want to colour the butterfly.” 2 “Sorry, but I can’t find one,” said the nurse. “I’m afraid you’ll have to draw a grey butterfly.” 3 This conversation happened in a waiting room at Sunshine Hospital. The hospital provided colouring books for young patients. But there were never enough crayons. Why? Well, crayons may carry viruses and spread diseases. They can only be used once. Then they must be thrown away. The hospital had many new patients every day. It just couldn’t afford new crayons for every child. 4 Leah was born with a serious disease, and she made many hospital visits. “A lot of the time she’s in great pain,” her mum said. “But colouring has helped her get through it.” Leah didn’t want other young patients to feel her disappointment. “It can be boring to wait for X-rays and treatments. I want them to feel good,” she said. “There must be something for me to do.” 5 Leah planned to buy 500 boxes of crayons for the hospital. However, all her pocket money was only enough for about 40 boxes. Because of her illness, she couldn’t do chores for money, either. 6 It might sound impossible, but Leah didn’t give up. With the help of her family and friends, she held many activities to raise money. And she would always be there in her wheelchair. Word spread fast, and Leah’s story went public. So far, she has collected 2,675 boxes. 7 “She is a kind girl,” said one nurse. “She’s added colour to this hospital. The waiting rooms are now filled with happier kids and brighter pictures!” |
| 1.五岁女童莉娅在阳光医院候诊室向护士求助:“请给我一支紫色蜡笔好吗?我想给蝴蝶涂色。
2.”护士回答:“抱歉,我们没有紫色蜡笔。恐怕您只能画一只灰色蝴蝶了。” 3.这段对话发生在阳光医院的候诊室。医院为年幼患者提供涂色书,但蜡笔数量始终不足。原因在于:蜡笔可能携带病毒并传播疾病,且仅限单次使用后必须丢弃。由于每日接诊的新患者数量庞大,医院根本无法为每个孩子配备新的蜡笔。 4.莱娅出生时患有严重疾病,多次住院治疗。“她经常疼痛难忍,”母亲说道,“但涂色疗法帮助她度过了这段艰难时期。”莱娅不愿让其他患儿感受到她的失望。“等待X光检查和治疗过程可能令人烦躁,我希望他们能保持积极心态,”她表示,“至少我还有事情可做。” 5.莱娅原计划为医院购买500盒蜡笔,但其零花钱仅够购买约40盒。由于病情限制,她也无法通过做家务来赚取零花钱。 6.这听起来可能不太可能,但莉亚并没有放弃。在家人和朋友的帮助下,她组织了许多活动来筹集资金。而且她总是坐在轮椅上。这些迅速传播开来,莉亚的故事也公之于众。到目前为止,她已经收集了2675个箱子。 7 “她是个善良的女孩,”一位护士说道,“她为这家医院增添了色彩。候诊室如今充满了更快乐的孩子和更明亮的图画!” |
