In 1989, an 8.2 earthquake almost destroyed America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.

After the unforgettable scare, he remembered the promise he had made to his son, "No matter what happens, I'll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless but he kept remembering his promise to his son.

Remembering his son's classroom would be in the back right comer of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins. As he was digging, other helpless parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying, "It's too late! They're all dead! You can't help! Go home! Come on! Face reality. There's nothing you can do!"

To each parent he replied with one line, "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The firefighter leader showed up and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, “Fires are breaking out. Explosions are happening everywhere. You're in danger. We'll take care of it. Go home." This loving father asked, "Are you going to help me now?" The police came and said, "You're angry, worried and it's over. You are making others in danger. Go home. We'll handle it!" He replied, "Are you going to help me now?" No one helped.

He went on alone because he needed to know for himself, "Is my boy alive or is he dead?" He dug for eight hours ...12 hours ...24 hours ...36 hours ... then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son's voice. He screamed his son's name, "Armand!" He heard back, "Dad?! It's me, Dad! I told the other children not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you would save me and when you saved me, they'd be saved. You promised, no matter what happens, you will always be there for me! You did it, Dad!" "What's going on there? How is it?" the father asked. "There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We're scared, hungry, thirsty and thankful you're here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle, and it saved us."

"Come out, boy!" "No, Dad! Let the other kids out first because I know you'll get me! No matter what happens, I know you'll always be there for me!"

Many years ago, I visited Thailand. One evening I went to a little market. There was a small boy selling T-shirts in the market. He couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old, but he was a good little salesman. He was talking q【1】 in Thai to two local persons when I arrived. And they both bought a T-shirt. Then there was a Japanese visitor in front of me, and the little boy began to talk in Japanese. Although he didn't speak Japanese very well, he was able to say a few words e【2】 to get another sale. When I came up, he saw my white face and immediately switched to English.

"Hello, Sir, how are you? Do you like T-shirts? "And within just a few m【3】 , he had persuaded(说服) me to buy five T-shirts. He was flexible (灵活的) he could jump from one language to another to m【4】 the customers from different countries. And even if he only knew a few words, he was so flexible that he could use his body languages to make customers understand the r【5】 of the meaning!

Selling a T-shirt meant getting money and that was a good thing. He made mistakes in his communication, but he didn't l【6】 anything by making some mistakes. Actually, it was a good chance to improve his language skills. He was in a good state. He clearly enjoyed selling those T-shirts and his face was wearing a b【7】 smile all the time.

It was work but he enjoyed it --he was relaxed and focused.
