The writer mentions "brighter pictures" to show how Leah's actions made the hospital a happier place. It means the children could draw colourful pictures, and they felt happier. Leah's effort brought joy and made the hospital feel brighter and more positive. 2 What words would you use to describe Leah? I would describe Leah as kind and determined. She is kind because she wanted to help other young patients feel good and happy, even though she was in pain herself. She is determined because she didn't give up, even when she didn't have enough money. She worked hard, raised money and collected 2,675 boxes of crayons. 1 "Excuse me, may I have a purple crayon, please?" five-year-old Leah asked a nurse. "I want to colour the butterfly." 2 "Sorry, but I can't find one," said the nurse. "I'm afraid you'll have to draw a grey butterfly." 3 This conversation happened in a waiting room at Sunshine Hospital.The hospital provided colouring books for young patients. But there were never enough crayons. Why? Well, crayons may carry viruses and spread diseases. They can only be used once. Then they must be thrown away. The hospital had many new patients every day. It just couldn't afford new crayons for every child. 请问，我可以要一只紫色的蜡笔吗？ 我想给这只蝴蝶涂色 say 恐怕 不得不 候诊室 但蜡笔总是不够 蜡笔可能携带病毒和传播疾病。 4 Leah was born with a serious disease, and she made many hospital visits.
