Leah's Journey – From “Me” to “We”
Read the passage again and find ONE sentence that shows the moment Leah changed from “someone who needed help” to “someone who wanted to help others.”

Work in groups of four. Retell the story from four aspects: the problem, causes of the problem, solutions, and comments.
1 Why does the writer mention “brighter pictures” in the end
2 What words would you use to describe Leah
Learning to think for question 1
Sometimes writers don't tell everything directly. You need to connect certain symbols with the writers' feelings.
1 Why does the writer mention “brighter pictures” in the end
The writer mentions "brighter pictures" to show how Leah's actions made the hospital a happier place. It means the children could draw colourful pictures, and they felt happier. Leah's effort brought joy and made the hospital feel brighter and more positive.
2 What words would you use to describe Leah
I would describe Leah as kind and determined. She is kind because she wanted to help other young patients feel good and happy, even though she was in pain herself. She is determined because she didn't give up, even when she didn't have enough money. She worked hard, raised money and collected 2,675 boxes of crayons.
Leah didn't have money, but she said, “There must be something for me to do.” Do you think she was “rich” Why or why not
Yes, I think Leah was "rich" — but not in money. She was rich in her heart. Reasons:
She had a caring heart. Even though she was sick and in pain, she thought about other children's feelings, not just her own.
She had a strong will. She didn't give up even when things seemed impossible. She found ways to help.
She had the power to inspire others. Her story moved many people, and together they collected thousands of crayons.
She knew the true meaning of giving. She understood that helping others doesn't require money — it requires a willing heart.
As the nurse said, “She's added colour to this hospital.” That kind of richness cannot be bought with money.
