I was walking around in a store. I saw an assistant pass this little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

“It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.” he said.

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her, and he shouldn’t worry. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case (万一)you do have enough money?”

“Ok,” he said. “I hope that I have enough.” I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left . The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me enough money!”

I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.

I used to watch a little girl 36 basketball every day from my kitchen window. One day I asked her why she practised so 37 . She said: “I would like to go to college. The only way is 38 a scholarship（奖学金）. I like basketball and I want to be the 39 player in college. My dad told me: ‘If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.’ ” She 40 changed her mind. I watched her through those junior high years and into senior high school. One day before she graduated 41 high school, I saw her sitting on the grass 42 . I asked her what was wrong. She told me her coach said she was 43 a short girl that she couldn’t be a good basketball player, so she should 44 dreaming about going to college. She was heartbroken and it 45 　made me feel sad. Then she smiled and told me her father said that coach was wrong. He did not understand the power of dream. Her father said to her: “If you really want to 46 the scholarship of a good college, nothing but you 47 can stop your dream.” The next year, she and her team went to a big game. She 48 by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the 49 basketball team of their college. She was about to get the college education 50 she had dreamed of and worked towards for all those years. “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” It is true.
