When I was small, my Great-Aunt Nony was still alive. Her life had been a terrible ordeal 1 for her as she had been plagued with lots of different types of cancer. One day, my parents took me to see her in the nursing 2 home in which she lived. It was quite scary 3 as the cancer had started to show and you could see tumors on her face and arms. She seemed to just be wasting away, but my parents wanted me to see her before she died.


A few days after this, my parents were talking in the kitchen when I received a seemingly 4 real phone call on my plastic toy phone. It was Nony.


"Hello. It's Nony, Carrie. Don't worry. Everything will be alright. Tell your parents. Don't worry, everything's going to be fine."


So I hung up and told my parents what Nony had said, but they didn't believe me. They just thought that she was playing on my mind when I was playing on my pretend 5 telephone.


One hour later, we received a phone call from my grandmother. She told us that Nony had died about an hour ago.



我的姑奶奶诺尼在我小的时候还在世了,但是她患有很多种的癌症,生命中的每时每刻都在遭受着病痛的折磨,苦不堪言。有一天,爸爸妈妈带我去疗养院看她,她的身体状况简直把我吓坏了,癌细胞已经扩散到了皮肤上,甚至脸上胳膊上都能看到肿瘤。她一天一天地消瘦下去,爸妈带我来就是想让我见她最后一面。


几天以后的一天里,爸妈正在厨房说话,我的塑料玩具电话居然接到了一个真实的来电,是诺尼姑奶奶打来的。


“你好,凯丽,我是诺尼。别担心,事情会好起来的。告诉你爸妈别担心,事情会好起来的。”


我挂了电话,跟爸妈说了这一切。但是他们并不相信,他们以为是我玩电话玩具的时候突然想起她了。


一小时之后,我们接到了奶奶的电话,她告诉我们诺尼姑奶奶一小时前去世了。
