When I was in primary school，sometimes I would meet a girl of the same age as me. Lisa was never active，but she was always very sweet and nice. In the 5th grade she came to my class.
She was absent a lot，and one day I had the courage to ask why. She told me she was sick，and she explained she wore a wig (假发) because her medicine made her lose her hair. We left it at that. Anytime Lisa came to class—seldom—I would hang with her on the playground.
I received much ridicule (嘲弄) from my friends for this because they thought I was ignoring them for Lisa. My family education taught me to be nice，and I felt Lisa’s needs were much more important than others I knew.
It had been months since Lisa was in our class，and one day our teacher was crying. She explained Lisa died the day before and would no longer be our classmate. She told us Lisa had fought a battle (斗争) with cancer for years.
I was shocked. Lisa never spoke of her illness as if it could kill her. Well，all these years I have kept Lisa in my mind and heart. When I go through the important events in my life，I think of Lisa.
I’ve had a strong wish recently to find her mother and father. I’d like to tell them that though they never met me，their daughter had a sweet effect (影响) on my life. I have no idea what her parents’ first names are. I write to your column (栏目) and hope you can point me in the right direction.

Sara’s Mom and Dad sat her down, explaining that the best thing for Pinky was to live a normal duck life, with other ducks.

Paragraph 1
Everyone was sad when they left Pinky at the pond, even Sara’s father. But he tried to convince Sara that Pinky was fine. Walking towards the car, Sara looked over her shoulder and saw Pinky standing alone. The other ducks were swimming around in circles, looking at Pinky. To Sara, it seemed that they were trying to identify the strange animal. They didn’t recognize Pinky as a duck. Worried about Pinky, Sara dreamed of Pinky being bullied by other ducks the whole night.
Paragraph 2
The next morning, when looking out of the kitchen window, Sara couldn’t believe her eyes! There was Pinky, happily walking around on the grass. Thrilled at what she saw, she kept asking herself,” How did she make it?” After all, it was two miles away and he managed to walk back through the city street. Incredible! But her parents drove Pinky back to the pond again regardless of her request. The following morning, there was Pinky again on the grass! Seeing Pinky again, her father, waving his arms about wildly, moved his lips without saying anything. Meanwhile, Sarah, overjoyed, hugged Pinky tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks.
