　　‘‘So．．．Your leg? I mean, how did your leg heal?"

　　"To tell you the truth-my legs have been well all my life," she sighed．

　　"But I don't under stand!" I said, "Your dancing career．．．You pretended all these years?"

　　‘‘Very much so, and for a very good reason．"

　　She thought for a while and then continued．"We were talking about engagement（订婚） when your grandfather had to go to war．1 was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance．I put all my energy and time into practicing-and I became very good． Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return．Then one day a letter came, There were only three sentences:‘ I have lost my leg．I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom．It is best you forget about me．’’’

　　“I made my decision there and then．I traveled away from the city．When I returned I had bought myself a stick．I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again．My dancing days were over．No one doubted the story-l had learned to limp（瘸拐地走） convincingly before I returned home．And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew we lf．Then I traveled to the hospital．They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair．I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”

　　"I showed him newspaper articles of my accident． 'There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to carry you．You are going to walk yourself．"'

　　"I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket．'Now show me you are still a man．' I said．He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair．He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
