Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess
approached me and asked," Would you mind1your seat? A couple would like to sit together." The
only2seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts (石膏繃帶), a black-and-blue face, and a sad
expression." 3am I going to sit there," I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke," She needs
help." Finally, I4to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She5hurt in a car accident and now was on her way for6.
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to7that Kathy would not be able to
8herself. I considered9to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too10to offer a service to a
11. But then I realized that Kathy's need was more12than my discomfort. I offered to help her
eat, and13 she was uncomfortable to accept, she14as I expected. We became closer and
closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart15, and the16was
really better spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached17my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love18
flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us19. When we20to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.
