I am flying

By Fan Xianyong

Once there was a boy in an orphanage.He had always wished that he could fly like a bird.It was very difficult for him to understand why he could not fly.

There was another little boy who had a disability.He had always wished that he could walk and run like other little kids.“Why can’t I be like them?” he thought.

One day the boy ran away from the orphanage.He came to a park where he saw the little boy,who could not walk or run,playing on the grass.He ran over to the little boy and asked him if he had ever wanted to fly like a bird.

“No,” said the little boy.“But I have wondered what it would be like to walk and run like other kids.”

The two boys played for hours,having fan together.Then the little boy’s father came with a wheelchair to pick up his son.The boy ran over to the little boy’s father and whispered something into his ear and the little boy’s father nodded.

The boy ran over to his new friend and said,“You are my only friend and I wish I could do something for you.”

The boy turned around and told his new friend to slide up onto his back.He then began to run across the grass.Faster and faster he ran,carring the little crippled boy on his back.Faster and harder he ran across the park.Harder and harder he made his legs travel.Soon the wind just whistled across the two little boys-faces.

The little boy’s father began to cry as he watched his beautiful little son flapping his arms up and down in the wind,all the while shouting at the top of his voice, “I’M FLYING,DADDY.I’M FLYING! ”

从前有个小男孩，他是个孤儿，他总是希望自己能像鸟儿一样飞翔。他很难明白为什么自己不能像鸟儿一样飞翔。

还有一个小男孩，他有残疾，他总是希望自己像其他的孩子一样能走能跑。“为什么我就不能像他们那样呢？”他很纳闷。

一天，小男孩从孤儿院里出走，在一个公园里偶然遇见了那个不会走也不会跑的男孩。孤儿小男孩跑向残疾小男孩，问他是否曾想到像鸟儿一样飞翔。

“没有，”小男孩说,“但我在想，如果像其他的孩子一样能走能跑是什么样子。”

两个小男孩一起玩耍了几个小时，他们是那么开心。后来，残疾小男孩的父亲推着轮椅来接他的儿子。孤儿小男孩跑向那位父亲，凑近他的耳朵窃窃私语了一番，那位父亲点了点头。小男孩又跑向他的新朋友，说道：“你是我唯一的朋友，我希望能为你做些什么。”

孤儿小男孩转过身去，要他的新朋友滑到自己的后背上。然后，他开始穿过草地跑起来。就这样，孤儿小男孩背着残疾小男孩，跑得越来越快，越来越猛，穿越整个公园，他的两条腿简直像飞起来一般。不一会儿，吹在两个小男孩脸庞的风呼啸起来。

只见残疾小男孩在风中上下舞动着手臂，样子是那么美，他一路高声呼喊：“我在飞翔，爸爸。我在飞翔！”看着这一场景，小男孩的父亲流下了眼泪。
