Sam Hensen was celebrating his ninth birthday at summer camp. The counselors and fellow campers came together to throw a party for him, complete with cake and gifts thoughtfully sent by his parents. But Sam was not a popular boy. He was mentally disabled and couldn’t move around like the other children, setting him apart from his peers and causing unease among parents. But things were about to change on his ninth birthday. At camp, he was about to discover that there were people who genuinely cared about him.
One boy reached out to Sam and extended a warm hand of friendship. His name was Bobby, an eleven-year-old, and he had a younger brother who was mentally challenged. Sam’s presence reminded Bobby of his beloved brother, and their bond was unique, unlike any other.
Bobby’s kindness didn’t stop at a friendly gesture; every morning, he went to Sam’s cabin to help him prepare for the day. Their friendship extended to sports, especially baseball, which Sam adored. Bobby, with strong determination, took on the incredible challenge of teaching Sam how to bat.
The hours and days they spent practicing seemed to point to an impossible task. The camp counselors had also tried their best to teach Sam, but progress had appeared to be hopeless. But Bobby was not ready to give up on his friend, but Sam began to feel anxious.
One restless night, Sam couldn’t sleep as he thought of Bobby’s kindness and the counselors’ tireless efforts to help him. He felt the burning desire to practice more, despite the late hour. He decided to take action. With determination, he made his way to Bobby’s cabin and woke him up, whispering, “Come on, Bobby! Wake up! I need you to pitch (投掷) the ball.” Bobby, rubbing his eyes, was initially puzzled by Sam’s late-night visit. But as Sam pulled him out of bed, he realized the importance of this moment. Sam assured him, “It will only take a moment, and we’ll be right back.”

【答案】One possible version:
With their counselors sound asleep, the two friends sneaked out, making their way to a poorly lit parking lot. Bobby helped Sam get into position to bat, and Sam, trying to focus on the ball in the weak light, took several swings, but still couldn’t hit it. In a quiet but determined voice, Bobby assured Sam, who was obviously upset, “I’ll pitch one more, and I know you’re going to hit this one.” With hope in his heart, Bobby pitched the ball. In a magical moment, the ball sailed past Sam’s head and finally made contact! Their excitement was uncontainable as they jumped and yelled with joy.
Sam fell asleep that night with a smile of accomplishment on his face. For Bobby, this experience taught him an invaluable lesson about maintaining faith even in the face of what seemed to be challenges impossible to be handled. Sam’s determination didn’t stop at the summer camp; he went on to play college baseball and received the honor of being elected to his school’s Hall of Fame. In the years that followed, Sam was invited to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a professional baseball game. Eventually, he returned to the old summer camp to teach baseball during their Special Olympics events, where he continued to inspire those around him.
