Every early morning Gleen would run to school to start the fire and warm the room before his teacher and classmates arrived. Their little schoolhouse was heated by an old- fashioned coal stove in winter.
One chilly morning, the teacher and students arrived, only to find the schoolhouse in flames. Gleen was dragged out of the flaming building, unconscious. The lower half of his body was badly burned and he was immediately sent to a nearby hospital. From his bed, Gleen faintly heard the doctor talking to his parents. “He could hardly survive, ” the doctor said in a low voice, “for the terrible fire had destroyed the lower half of his body. ”
“I don’t want to die, mum. ” Gleen told his mother. He was determined to survive. To the doctor’s amazement, he did survive. When the serious danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his parents speaking quietly. “He was bound to be disabled for life, ” the doctor whispered, “since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the lower part of his body. He can’t walk like a normal person. ”
“I will walk, dad. ” Gleen told his father. Once more, the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be disabled. But unfortunately, he has no feeling from the waist down. His thin legs just hung there, lifeless. Ultimately, he was discharged from the hospital.
Back home, Gleen’s mother would squeeze and rub his little legs every day, hoping to help them recover, but it made little difference. He was either in bed or attached to a wheelchair. Yet his determination that he would walk never faded. Instead, he kept thinking about how to make himself stand up and walk again.
On a lovely summer day, as usual, Gleen was wheeled out into the yard for some fresh air, where his father had just built a fence by driving the stakes (木桩) into the grassland. Sitting in the wheelchair, Gleen was staring at the fence around the yard.
