Last night my mother told me a story of an old man and 1 was touched by it. A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from a/an 41 disease with days numbered.
The girl was 42 to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad.Their living conditions were not satisfactory 43 the old man had a lot of savings. so she was expected to comfort him and 44 his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him 45 , telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip(静脉滴注), she would help gently press his 46 .The doctor found the patient much improved 47 . The old man began to involve himself actively 48 !he medical treatment and he seldom 49 at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would 50 her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere(干预), 51 to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of 52 after suffering coma(昏迷)a few times.
When 53 from the latest coma,the old man told the doctor his last wish,“I have deep 54 for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her 55 her studies?” But the doctor knew that her family was 56 and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man,the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into 57 . Then she handed $500 to the doctor, saying,“The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of 58 . He gave me money so that I could continue my 59 .”Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life,the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl 60 in need.The story taught me that we are responsible for reaching out to others with kindness.
