A crew had been working on it for two weeks, every time they finished one problem, another surfaced. We decided the only reasonablewas to build a new house-something unusual butunder these circumstances. The family waswith their new house. While we ate lunch together, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan,“What do you want for your new?”we werewhen Josh responded,“I just want a bed.” The boys hadslept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. we decided beds would be the perfect. A few volunteers drove to the nearest city andbeds and new bedding. When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the. We could hardlyourselves. It was like watchingchildren on Christmas morning. As wethe frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house tous. As my father slipped a pillowcase (枕套) onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, “What is that?” “A pillow,”he replied. “What do youit?”Eric continued to ask. “When you go to sleep, you put youron it,”I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow. “Oh . . . that’s soft,”he said, it tightly. Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my Dad gently asks,“Do you have a pillow?”We know exactly what he.
