【推荐3】A Beautiful Reminder

Clara Daly was seated on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles with her mother when a flight attendant asked an urgent (紧急的) question over the loudspeaker:“Does anyone on board know American Sign Language (ASL)?”

Clara, 15 at the time, offered to help. The flight attendant came by and explained the situation. “We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf. He is flying home after visiting his sister. He is unable to make any kind of communication with the flight attendants.” she said. The passenger seemed to want something, but he was traveling alone and the flight attendants couldn't understand what he needed.

Clara had been studying American Sign Language for the past year and she knew she would be able to finger spell into the man’s palm (掌心). So she stood up, walked toward the front of the plane, and rested on her knees alongside 64⁃year⁃old Tim Cook. Gently taking his hand, letter by letter, she unlocked his wishes. She signed, “How are you? Are you OK?” Cook asked for some water. When it arrived, Clara returned to her seat. She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time. On her third visit, she stopped and stayed awhile. She soon realized Cook didn't need anything. He was lonely and wanted to talk.

So for the next hour, that's what they did. She talked about her family and her plans of becoming a politician in the future. Cook told Clara how he had gradually become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman. Even though he couldn't see her,she looked attentively at his face with such kindness.

People on board thought it was cool. A passenger named Lynette Scribner took a photo and wrote about Clara's act of kindness on the Internet, calling it “a beautiful reminder in this time of too much awfulness…that there are still good people who are willing to look out for each other.”
