题文

A few years ago, I had the opportunity to play the character of Ronald McDonald for the McDonald's Corporation.One day each month，we visited hospitals bringing a little happiness to the children there. But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital  without permission. And cond, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(细菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of the rules, I was told, I could lo my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a half­opened door，“Ronald，Ronald.”I stepped in and saw a boy，about five years old, lying in his dad's arms, Mom with a nur on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say good­bye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me？”At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes！”But my mind was screaming louder. “No！You are going to lo your job！”“Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I arched for any reasonable excus that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billy's mom that Billy had pasd away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boy's life.Billy's mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I don't care any more if I e Santa this year becau I was held by Ronald McDonald.”For the record, McDonald's Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation，permitted me to go on with my job.
