An Inspirational Story
A few years ago at the Seattle
Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled,
assembled at the starting line for the 100 yard dash. At the gun, they all
started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a relish to run the race to the
finish and win. All, that is, except one boy who stumbled on the asphalt,
tumbled over a couple of times and began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy.
They slowed down and looked back. They all turned around and went back. Every
one of them. One girl with Down’s syndrome bent down and kissed him and said,
“This will make it better.” All nine linked arms and walked across the finish
line together. Everyone in the stadium stood, and the cheering went on for
several minutes.
