I went the re because I care.At the party, they had all kinds of small rooms. I got into a special one. In this room, anyone could paint a square. They gave everyone paints in bright, beautiful colours and asked the kids to paint something beautiful. As I looked around at all th e squares, I saw the pictures were all bright, except one.The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it w as dark, empty, and lifeless. It lacked the bright colours that ot her children used.At first I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him ab out it, he said his heart was that colour because his own heart felt dark. I asked him why and he told me that he was very sick and his mother was very sick, too. He said that his sicknes s was not ever going to get better and neither was his mother’s.He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is nothing a nyone can do to help.”I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certa inly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand w hy he had made his heart a dark colour. But I told him that i t isn’ t true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not make him or his mother better but we can do things like giving him or her hugs. Then I hugged him for a l ong time. I thought my own heart would burst with the love I felt for this sweet little boy. After that, I asked him if he felt a ny better. He said he did, but he was still sick and nothing wo uld change that. I walked away feeling sad.As I was getting ready to head home, I felt a tug on my jacket. I turned around and the little boy was standing there w ith a smile on his face. He told me, “My heart is changing colo urs. It is getting brighter. I think those h ugs really work.”On my way home, I felt my own heart had changed to a brighter colour.41. “Tuesday’s Child” was _________.A. the name of a TV showB. the name of an organizationC. a child with the AIDS virusD. the name of a party42.
