Several years ago,when I was working in a school,a thin boy showed up in my office.It was David. His head teacher had mentioned him to me.“ This boy has lost his family," he wrote.“ He is very sad and 71 refuses(refuse)to talk to others,and I am very worried about him. Can you help?"
Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and 72patiently(patient).The first two times we met, David didn't say a word.He sat there,only 73looking(look)up at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I 74suggested(suggest)we play a game of chess.He nodded. After that,he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete 75silence(silent),without a word.
Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up 76before I got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company,but why did he never look at me?
" Perhaps he 77simply(simple)needs someone to share his pain with," I thought.“ Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later,while we 78were playing(play)chess,he looked up at me suddenly.“ It's your turn,"he said.
79From that day on,David started talking.Later,he got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one- 80without any words-can reach out to another person. All it needs is a hug,a shoulder to cry on,a friendly touch and an ear for the wounded heart.
