a few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestents,
all physically or mentally disabled,assembled at the starting line
for the 100 yard dash.At the gun they all started out,not exactally in a dash,
but with the relish to run the race to the fininsh and win.
All,that is,except one boy who slipped on the asphalt,fall
and rolled over a couple of times,and began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy cry.They slowed down and paused.
then turned around and went back.Everyone of them.
One girl with Down's Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said, "This will make it better."
Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finished line.
Everyone in the stadium stood,and the cheering went on for 10 minutes.
