3．Every day people often saw a boy sing in a park．In fact，they didn't know the fact that this boy had cancer for a long time and he had no more time left．He looked very optimistic and he didn't feel self-contemptuous（自卑的）at all．
One day，he was wandering in the park．Suddenly a good smell flew over and it attracted him to come under a peach．To his joy，he saw a girl dancing pleasingly．
"You are great!You look like a dancing butterfly!"watching her for a long time，then he said．
"Thank you!"this girl looked up and said shyly．
"Are you blind？"said the boy amazedly．
The girl made no reply，but she nodded hard．
"Sorry!I didn't mean to hurt you!"said the boy in a hurry．
"Never mind!"the girl seemed to be easy．
They knew each other in this way．
From then on，they often met each other．And while the boy was singing，the girl danced for him．
Time passed quickly!Many days passed before they knew it．
"Look!How beautiful the peach blossoms are!They are just like you!"said the boy unconsciously（无意地）．
"But I can't see．"the girl lowered her head．
"I'm sorry!"the boy couldn't help regretting．He felt his heart bitten hard by a snake，"How foolish I am!How can I say such words before her？"His heart was soon covered by an inexplicable idea．
Several days later，the girl told the boy happily that her eyes would be cured quickly because someone was willing to contribute his cornea（角膜）to her．Hearing the girl's words，the boy also smiled happily．
That day，darkness seemed to come earlier than ever．The boy said many words to the girl："I had never believed there was forever in the world．But I know I am mistaken!There is forever indeed-friendship．Now I have to go and I am afraid that we can't meet each other again，either．I will treasure our friendship up in my memory!"
Hearing the boy's words，the girl couldn't help crying．Then the boy sang again while the girl danced．
Later the boy went quietly，but he was regretless，because he gave the last song in his life to the girl．
Soon the girl's operation succeeded，she saw everything and knew the truth，too．To people's surprise，the peach didn't blossom that year．
When the girl came to the appointed place with tears，she seemed to see the boy singing and walking to her in the setting sun．
