A Change of Heart
The anti-war activist was not surprised at all that his primary adversay,the Admiral,had been afflicted with a drug addict for a son.He was actually quite happy to find out that his enemy had such personal problems.It was the advent of a new day,however,when the activist decided to help administer the treatment for the adolescent and help the Admiral fight this adverse situation.And it was clear that the Admiral was a wonderful person when the activist saw how much the Admiral adored his son.
Now living in an adjacent room in a special section of a treatment center, the activist was able to adhere to the strictest methods for helping the boy fight his addiction. The activist was able to help with aesthetic changes,such as adorning the boy with clean clothes, as well as affirm the boy as his body struggled with the medical additives that would help the boy get better.
Certain events were luckily also not adhesive in the youth's mind. This included the boys' aerial leap from a tall building. He did not die only because he landed in the swimming pool of the adjoining building.
And now the activist was gaining the attention of his affiliates because of his honorable actions. This had never been his motive. He had only wanted to help a person in need. And, as the Admiral adjourned their weekly meeting about the boy's progress,the activist was really happy that he had been able to make a difference in someone's life.
徹底的改變
這位反戰(zhàn)積極分子的主要對手,艦隊(duì)司令因兒子染上毒癮而十分苦惱,但他對此一點(diǎn)也不感到廳怪。實(shí)際上,發(fā)現(xiàn)他的敵人有這樣的個(gè)人問題,他還感到很高興。然而,當(dāng)這位積極分子決定幫助實(shí)施對這位青少年的治療并協(xié)助艦隊(duì)司令對付這種不利情況時(shí),新的一天到來了。很顯然,當(dāng)這位反戰(zhàn)積極分子看到艦隊(duì)司令對兒子是如何喜愛時(shí),艦隊(duì)司令成了一個(gè)可愛的人。
現(xiàn)在這位反戰(zhàn)積極分子正住在鄰近治療中心特區(qū)的一個(gè)房間里,因而他能夠堅(jiān)持用最嚴(yán)格的方法幫助那個(gè)男孩戒除毒隱。這位反戰(zhàn)積極分子能夠用審美上的變化提供幫助,如用干凈的衣服打扮男孩,當(dāng)他的身體與醫(yī)療添加劑的副作用作斗爭的時(shí)候他會(huì)斷言它們會(huì)使他好起來。
有些事情幸好沒有在這個(gè)年輕人的心中留下記憶,其中包括他從高樓的空中跳下,他沒有死只是因?yàn)樗舻搅?STRONG>鄰近大樓的游泳池里。
由于他的誠心相助,這位反戰(zhàn)積極分子得到了他的下屬的注意。這并不是他原來的動(dòng)機(jī),他只是想幫助一個(gè)需要幫助的人。在艦隊(duì)司令使每周召開的討論男孩病情的會(huì)議休會(huì)時(shí),這位積極分子為自己能使一個(gè)人的生活發(fā)生變化而感到由衷的高興。
