[00:00.98]Flying 飞翔
[00:08.30]Once upon a time there was a little orphan 1 boy
[00:11.71]who had always wished that he could fly like a bird.
[00:15.30]“Why can’t I fly like a bird?” he thought.
[00:19.80]There was another little boy who was crippled 2.
[00:23.08]He had always wished that he could walk and run like other little boys and girls.
[00:28.54]“Why can’t I be like them?”he wondered.
[00:32.81]One day the little orphan boy met the little crippled boy in a park.
[00:37.08]He ran over to the little boy and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird.
[00:43.76]“No,” said the little crippled boy.
[00:46.27]“But I have wondered what it would be like to walk and run like other boys and girls.”
[00:52.72]“That is very sad.”the little orphan boy said,“Do you think we could be friends?”
[00:58.96]“Sure.”
[01:00.60]The two little boys played happily for hours.
[01:03.55]Then the little crippled boy’s father came with a wheelchair to pick up his son.
[01:09.02]The little orphan boy ran over to the boy’s father and whispered something into his ear.
[01:15.16]“That would be OK,” said the man.
[01:18.00]Then the little boy ran over to his new friend and said,
[01:22.27]“You are my only friend and I wish that there was something that I could do
[01:27.08]to make you walk and run like other little boys and girls.
[01:30.91]But I can’t. But there is something that I can do for you.”
[01:35.06]The little orphan boy turned around and told his new friend to slide up onto his back.
[01:42.29]He then began to run across the grass.
[01:45.90]Faster and faster he ran, carrying the little crippled boy on his back.
[01:51.47]Faster and harder he ran across the park.
[01:55.05]Harder and harder he made his legs travel.
[01:58.44]Soon the wind just whistled across the two little boys’faces.
[02:03.03]The little boy’s father began to cry as he watched his beautiful little crippled son
[02:08.83]flapping his arms up and down in the wind,
[02:11.15]all the while yelling 3 at the top of his voice,
[02:14.08]“I’M FLYING, DADDY. I’M FLYING!”
[02:18.03]Friends always do their best to help us accomplish your dreams.
[02:21.74]The little orphan boy could do nothing to make the crippled boy walk or run,
[02:27.30]but he managed to make him “fly”.
[02:29.95]He failed to make his own dream of flying come true,
[02:33.37]but he took delight in helping 4 his friend “fly”.
