相反，投手拿到球后，高高地抛出一个大弧线，将球投到了右半场，这样一垒手根本接不着。所有人都开始喊：“沙亚，跑到一垒，跑到一垒!” 此前，沙亚还从未跑到过一垒去。他匆匆地跑过垒线，惊奇地睁大了眼睛。当他跑到一垒时，右外野手已接到球了。他本可以把球传给二垒手，这样就可以把奔跑中的沙亚触杀出局。但右外野手明白投手的意思，因此把球往远处抛去，甚至远高过了二垒手的头。人们都在喊：“跑到二垒，跑到二垒。”于是沙亚跑向二垒，同时队员已经疯狂地冲到他前面朝着本垒将垒围了起来。沙亚跑到二垒时，对方的游击手向他跑来，将他引向三垒并喊道：“往三垒跑。”当沙亚转到三垒时，两队的男孩都在他后面大喊：“沙亚，跑回本垒！”沙亚跑到本垒，站在本垒板上。18个男孩把他当做英雄举在肩膀上，因为他刚打了一个“满垒全垒打”，为自己这一队赢得了比赛。
“那一天，”这位父亲轻声说着，眼泪顺着脸颊淌了下来，“那18个孩子达到了上帝所创造的完美。”
无论我们处在怎样的境遇里，爱永远是上帝赐予我们的最温暖人心的力量。

关于铅笔的一则寓言
A Parable of the Pencil
佚名 / Anonymous
The Pencil Maker took the pencil aside, just before putting him into the box.
“There are 5 things you need to know,” he told the pencil, “before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best pencil you can be.
“One: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in someone’s hand.
“Two: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you’ll need it to become a better pencil.
“Three: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
“Four: The most important part of you will always be what’s inside.
“And five: On every surface you are used on, you must leave your mark. No matter what the condition, you must continue to write.”
