Frank began to tell us of his childhood.“My Dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. It was hard making a living on the sea. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. When his noisy old truck reached my school, it seemed that everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here, I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye!”
He paused and then went on, “I remember the day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean towards me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad. I’m too old for a goodbye kiss’. My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to have tears up. I had never seen him cry. ‘You are right’, he said, ‘You are a big boy...a man. I won’t kiss you anymore.’”
The tears began to well up in his eyes, as he spoke.“ It wasn’t long before my Dad went to sea and never came back. Guys, you don’t know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek...I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would never have told my Dad I was too old for a good bye kiss.”

How do you feel when you stay in hospital alone? Jenny, 13, a US student, feels bored. She knows the feeling because she has been in hospital many times herself. One day, she thought of an idea—if patients could get some books to read, they would feel better. So, from May, she and many of her friends began to collect books for hospital patients.
In six months the students collected 1,250 books at school. They decided to donate the books to the North Shore Medical Centre, a children’s hospital next door to their school. “There are books for kids of all ages, from babies up to high school level.” said Jenny.
The students put the books into “early readers”, “middle readers” and “advanced readers”. Then they wrote their best wishes to patients on bookmarks (书签) and letters, put the books in big boxes and donated them to the hospital.
“We wrote things like, “Keep on reading!’ and ‘Hope you feel better!’,” siad John, 14, Jenny’s brother. “And we also wrote some funny things to make them laugh.”
Frank, 12, and Steven, 14, helped carry 16 large boxes of books into a car. “I think these books will make me a lot of patients feel happy.” said Frank. Steven shared his opinion. “It is really the most meaningful thing that I have ever done in my life.”
