Eleven-year-old Anna got a serious illness. All the doctors in the hospital thought she would spend
the rest of her life in the wheelchair. But Anna never gave up the hope of becoming healthy. Lying in her
bed in the hospital, she told everyone that she would walk again someday.
       All the doctors in the hospital were moved by her. They taught her to imagine(想象)seeing herself
walking.  And Anna worked hard to imagine that she was still moving, moving and moving!
       One day, while she was imagining her legs moving again, suddenly, the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She shouted out," Look at what I'm doing!  Look! I can move!"Actually,  that was only an earthquake. But Anna didn't think so. She thought that she could do it．
       Now, she comes back to school again. Many people couldn't believe it. We all know in all things it
is better to hope than to despair.
