Nancy was the special service representative at New York’s LaGuardia airport. One day when she was in the departure lounge(候机室), she spotted a boy in tears and obvious emotional pain, whose mother at his side also appeared upset. Being a clerk of the airport as well as a parent, she was curious if she could be of assistance.
As it turned out, their flight to O’Hare in Chicago was full, and they couldn’t sit together. The boy was terrified to be separated from his mother. Those were the days when the first-class cabins were not always full, so Nancy seated mother and son in first class.
In their later chat, Nancy also found out that the boy, who was called Miles, and his mum were returning to their home in Kansas City. Miles was suffering serious health problems with internal(内部的)organs. They had spent the last two weeks at Long Island Jewish Hospital. He would be back to the hospital through LaGuardia many more times.
During the numerous trips, the friendship and bond between Miles’s family and Nancy’s service staff grew closer. Miles began to enjoy his flights through LaGuardia because he was allowed to spend time in the VIP lounge, where an entire wall was filled with pictures of many celebrities(名人)who frequented the office. The picture of a country singer Garth Brooks, Miles’s hero, the person he most admired, also hung there. Soon Miles’s picture was also added to the wall of fame.
One day, Mr Brooks was travelling for a performance from LaGuardia and relaxing in the lounge waiting for his flight to depart. He was interested in the picture of the youngster with the big smile on the wall. He was told about Miles; knowing how much Miles loved and admired him, Mr Brooks left his guitar and penned a few words of encouragement inside the guitar case.
He asked Nancy to deliver the guitar and his cowboy hat to Miles.
Paragraph 1:
That evening, Nancy took Garth’s guitar and hat to Miles.
Paragraph 2:
More exciting news to Miles came about six months later.
Paragraph 1:
That evening，Nancy took Garth's guitar and hat to Miles. At first Miles couldn't believe that it was really a gift from his hero. As he comprehended that it was not a dream or a joke，he smiled. It was as if any discomfort he was having just disappeared. It was like the gift of life.
Paragraph 2:
More exciting news to Miles came about six months later. Garth Brooks contacted his family by Nancy，saying he was going to be performing in Kansas City and wanted Miles to be his guest. Not only was Miles seated in the front row，but he and Garth also had a lengthy private meeting backstage after the performance. What a special evening for Miles! Although he would undergo many more treatments after that evening，his broad smile greeted people，with the face of a sick boy transformed by the joy of a stranger with a guitar.
