Question

Years ago when I was working at a children’s institution a boy1up in the waiting room.It was David.He had2his parents.He was very sad3to talk to others.
The first two times we met David didn’t say a word.He sat in the chair and only4up at the children’s drawings on the wall.As he was about to leave5the second visit I put my hand on his6.He didn’t shrink (退缩) back but he didn’t look at me either.
“Come back next week ” I hesitated a bit.
He came and I suggested we play a game of chess.He7.After that we played8every time in complete9and without making any eye contact.It’s not10to cheat in chess but I admit that I made sure David won11.
It seemed as if he enjoyed my12.But why did he never look at me？Perhaps he sensed that I respected his suffering.I kept wondering and13with him until some months later 14
he looked up at me.“It’s your turn ” he said.
After that day David started15.He got friends in school.He wrote me a few16about how he would try to get into university.After some time the letters17.Now he had really started to live his own life.
I learned how18cures pain.And David showed me how one—without any19—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a shoulder to cry on a20touch and an ear that listens.
