相反，投手拿到球后，高高地抛出一个大弧线，将球投到了右半场，这样一垒手根本接不着。所有人都开始喊：“沙亚，跑到一垒，跑到一垒！” 此前，沙亚还从未跑到过一垒去。他匆匆地跑过垒线，惊奇地睁大了眼睛。当他跑到一垒时，右外野手已接到球了。他本可以把球传给二垒手，这样就可以把奔跑中的沙亚触杀出局。但右外野手明白投手的意思，因此把球往远处抛去，甚至远高过了二垒手的头。人们都在喊：“跑到二垒，跑到二垒。”于是沙亚跑向二垒，同时队员已经疯狂地冲到他前面朝着本垒将垒围了起来。沙亚跑到二垒时，对方的游击手向他跑来，将他引向三垒并喊道：“往三垒跑。”当沙亚转到三垒时，两队的男孩都在他后面大喊：“沙亚，跑回本垒！”沙亚跑到本垒，站在本垒板上。18个男孩把他当做英雄举在肩膀上，因为他刚打了一个“满垒全垒打”，为自己这一队赢得了比赛。
“那一天，”这位父亲轻声说着，眼泪顺着脸颊淌了下来，“那18个孩子达到了上帝所创造的完美。”
无论我们处在怎样的境遇里，爱永远是上帝赐予我们的最温暖人心的力量。

关于铅笔的一则寓言
A Parable of the Pencil
佚名 / Anonymous
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside， just before putting him into the box.
“There are 5 things you need to know，” he told the pencil， “before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget， and you will become the best pencil you can be.
“One： You will be able to do many great things， but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.
“Two： You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time， but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.
“Three： You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
“Four： The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.
“And five： On every surface you are used on， you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition， you must continue to write.”
