有個故事是這麼說的......
一天....
小明(七歲大的小男孩)和一個背部嚴重彎曲的小孩熱鬧的玩了起來.... 
開懷的笑語驅散了原本存在於兩人間的陌生與防衛.... 
兒童的情感表達往往是最直接的....
但純稚的他似乎對這位新玩伴身體上的異樣毫無反應.... 
玩累了...
兩個人都坐了下來....
四目凝望良久之後...
小明心裡似乎突然明白了些什麼....
他篤定的站了起來...
走到小孩的身邊...以得意的口吻說....
我知道你的背為什麼彎彎的....
意識到自己很可能被這個剛認識的朋友直接的刺及傷處.... 
小孩此時採取最安全的自衛---沉默不語.... 
此時的他緊張得說不出話來....
小明不改先前的口氣...依然不放過的說... 
我知道裡面裝什麼..你知道嗎???...
不知道....小孩無力的回答....
小明終於遏抑不住心中的喜悅....
以綻放的笑容迫不及待的對小孩說....
彎彎的身體是個竹簍子....裡面裝了一對還沒有被上帝打開...那天使的翅膀.... 
多少時候...
我們希望自己能像是那個小孩...
能被接納...被瞭解...
甚至連自己的缺陷都能被欣賞....
以正向的眼光來看待....
但也有更多的時候....
我們期許自己像小明....
能帶給他人鼓勵...安慰...與扶持...
我們每個人都在朝向自我實現的大道上邁進... 
同時也希望...在造就自己的同時...
成全它人....


Here is how the story goes. 
Once upon a time, John, a seven-year-old boy, was playing mirthfully with a hunchbacked child. Their cheerful laughter dispelled the unfamiliarity and defensiveness that usually existed between two strangers. Children tend to express their feelings in the most direct way, but strangely, naïve John showed no reaction to his new friend』s physical deformities. 
When they got tired, they sat down to rest. Gazing into each other』s eyes for a while, all of a sudden, John seemed to have figured out something. He stood up firmly, walked to the other child』s side, and said in a tone of pride, 「I know why your back is crooked.」 Sensing that he was about to be hurt by this new found friend, the child took the safest position of self-defense by remaining silent. At this moment, he was too nervous to speak anyway. 
John pressed on in the same direct way, 「I know what is inside your back. Do you?」 
「No,」 the child replied weakly. 
Unable to hold back his overwhelming joy, John, with a dazzling smile, said to the child: 「The crooked back is a bamboo basket with a pair of angel wings inside, waiting to be unfolded by God.」 
At times, we hope that we, like the child, could be accepted and understood; we hope that even our deformities could be appreciated by others in a positive way. Still more often, we hope that we could bring others courage, comfort, and support as John did. 
All of us are walking on the path of self-fulfillment. While achieving our own goals, we hope that we can help others accomplish something too.
