After a car accident put me into the hospital, I felt very angry about the way my life was turning out. The doctors repaired the major damage done to my 1. But I was lying there feeling sorry for myself. I didn't care to see anyone or talk to anyone.
I had been there about a week. For the week the nurses had been good about leaving my door closed. 2 one bright morning I was awakened by 3 out in the hallway. Since I was still feeling 4 for myself, I didn't wake up in a pleasant mood. As I 5 the button to call the nurse, I saw a little boy in the hallway. A cast (石膏夹) completely covered his arm, from fingers to 6, but his face was covered with a smile. In his other hand he was holding a teddy bear.
I heard his mother telling him to sit and wait until she was done. He looked over to me and I had the permanent (持久的) 7 on my face, but he smiled at me. Then he came running into my room. As I was silently cursing (咒骂) the nurses for leaving my door 8, the smile upon his face widened.
He came right up next to my 9 and stood there smiling at me. Then with his good arm he held out his big brown teddy bear. It was missing an eye but I had to say it was lovely. I lay there and looked at him for the longest time, not 10 what he wanted me to do for him. He said, "This is Teddy. He's still sick. He needs to stay here. Could you keep him here till he gets better?"
I 11 out and took Teddy from his hand. I promised I would take care of Teddy 12 the time he got better. I also promised to keep him from 13 afterwards. Just then the little boy's mother called him. He looked back at me, said goodbye and ran out of the room. His mother smiled down at him and the nurse wheeled him away. I sat there 14 Teddy for the longest time. The nurse answered to my call just in time to catch the tears rolling down my cheeks and the biggest smile on my face.
I will never forget that little boy gave to me that day. It was much 15 a well-loved one-eyed teddy bear. I have kept my promises to that little boy, too.
