Radio host: Good evening, this is Star Talk. Today we invite our old friend Susan to share her story.

Susan: Good evening. Today I’d like to talk about a girl—Stella Green. She inspired (鼓舞) me most.

I teach climbing in the camp. One morning, we were watching a video about climbing when Stella Green came. She opened the camp door sitting on a wheelchair (轮椅) and told me she wanted to go climbing. We didn’t understand why such a disabled (有残疾的) girl came here.

At first, I was afraid Stella would feel sad. I moved the wheelchair closer to the wall. When Stella stood up, she took the first climbing hold and began to put her feet on the other holds. I soon knew that those legs didn’t need me. They could finish the climbing themselves. And move after move, Stella made me surprised and cry. When reaching the top, she cried out happily.

From this experience, I know Stella and I have a great lesson—never give up (放弃), trust yourself and do all you can.

That’s all. Thank you.

Once there was a rich man, who was very fond of gold. He used to say, “While I have my gold, I am the happiest man in the world.”

One day he was traveling in the desert of North Africa. He lost his way. He had no food or water. He was almost dying of hunger. He was so weak that he could not walk. The heat was terrible. There were only stones and sand around. Just then he saw a bag lying on the sand. He hoped that he would find some food in it and some water, too. He crawled up to the bag and opened it. He saw that the bag was full of gold. What is the use of gold to a hungry man in a desert? He left the bag on the hot sand crying bitterly. “I am the most unhappy man in the world.”
