Last year, I was invited to attend a party for “Tuesday's Child”, an organization that helps children with the AIDS (艾滋病).
At the party, anyone could draw a picture. They gave everyone paints (颜料) in bright, beautiful colours and asked the kids to draw something beautiful. As I looked at all the pictures, I found they were all bright, except one from a boy. He drew a dark, lifeless heart.

At first, I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his heart was that colour because his own heart felt dark. He told me that he and his mother were both very sick. He said that their illnesses were not ever going to get better. He looked into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can help.”
I told him I could understand him. And I told him that it wasn’t true that there was nothing anyone could help. Other people might not make him or his mother better but we can do things like giving them hugs. Then I hugged him for a long time. I thought my heart would burst with the love I felt for the boy. After that, he said he felt better. But he was still sick and nothing would change that. I walked away feeling sad.
As I was leaving, the boy smiled at me and said, “The colour in my heart is changing. It's getting brighter. I think those hugs really work.”
On my way home, I felt my heart had changed to a brighter colour as well.
