I learned a lesson in "heart" from my little 10-year-old daughter, Sarah, who was born with a muscle （肌肉） missing in her foot and has to wear a brace （支架） all the time. That's why she has problems running freely or even walking quickly.

On a beautiful spring day, at 4: 00 pm, she came home and told me that she joined in "field day". On that day, students usually have lots of races, games, matches and competitions. They join in the "field day" and win prizes.

Because of her brace, my mind raced, "She must be very upset （沮丧）. What should I say to make her cheer up?" So I tried to think of words of encouragement for my poor Sarah, things I could say to her about not letting this get her down- things I have heard many famous coaches tell the players when they were faced with defeat （失败）. But ★, she looked up and said happily. "Daddy, I won two of the races."

I couldn't believe it! Then Sarah said, "I had an advantage （优势）"

Ahha. I knew it. She must have been given a head start — some kind of physical（身体上的） advantage. I thought in my mind. But again, before I could say anything, she said, "Daddy, I didn't get a head start... My advantage was I had to try harder!"

Alison cornered me in the kitchen. "Daddy, I really want a rat（老鼠）!"

"Again" I saw the ugly grey things with round eyes and long tails in my mind.

This topic was around in our family for about one year. This time, Alison told me seriously how she would take care of the rat herself, and how she would learn to be responsible （有责任感）. I wanted to say "no" as usual, but it was not the right reply（答复） for this situation.

"Well, you should at least do some research about rats: How much do they cost? What care do they need?" I said, thinking that the answers she'd find might change her mind.

But Alison acted. She searched for information and made many notes. She learned what the best cage for rats is and what types of food they can (and can't) eat. She even learned that two rats are better than one-they like staying together.

I finally gave in. We called up several pet stores, asking for baby rats. One store told us it just received some that would be ready on sale in a week. Alison was so excited her dream would come true soon.

On Sunday afternoon, I drove Alison there. I must say, the rats were much cuter than I'd thought.

Alison carefully picked out two little ones with her soft little hands. She held the cage with them, singing with a huge smile.

"I can't believe I have them after a year of begging!"

"It wasn't your begging. "I told her, "You showed me you were responsible, so I wanted to reward （奖励） that!"
