"Hi, Mommy, what are you doing?" asked Susie.
"I'm making a cake for Mrs. Smith next door," said her mother.
"Why?" asked Susie, who was only six years old.
"Because Mrs. Smith is very sad; she 32 her daughter and she has a broken heart. We need to take care of her for a little while."
"Why, Mommy?"
"You see, Susie, when someone is very, very sad, they have trouble 33 the little things like making dinner. Because we're part of a community and Mrs. Smith is our neighbor, we need to do some things to help her. Mrs. Smith won't ever be able to talk with her daughter or hug her or do all those 34 things moms and daughters do together. You are a very smart girl, Susie, maybe you'll think of some way to help take care of Mrs. Smith.”
Susie thought 35 about it and how she could do her part in caring for Mrs. Smith. A few minutes later, Susie knocked on her door. After a few moments Mrs. Smith answered the knock with a "Hi, Susie."
Susie noticed that Mrs. Smith didn't have that 36 musical quality about her voice when she greeted someone.
"My mommy says that you lost your daughter and you're very, very sad with a broken heart.” Susie held her hand out shyly. In it was a Band - Aid（創(chuàng)可貼）．“This is 37 your broken heart." Mrs. Smith 38 her tears. She knelt down and hugged Susie, saying "Thank you, darling girl, this will 39 a lot."
Mrs. Smith accepted Susie's act of 40 and took it one step further. She bought a small key ring with a picture frame（相框）.She put Susie's Band - Aid in the frame to 41 herself to heal （治療）a little every time she saw it．
