怀疑我怎么会理解他们，怎么能帮助他们减轻痛苦。“你知道生活在恐惧中的感觉吗？”一位海军士兵问我。在一场战役中，他们整整一个排的战士都死了，当时悲惨的场面至今还折磨着他。
每当这个时候，我都会告诉他们我的故事，讲述那位上帝派来营救我的美国士兵。
我说：“我从来都不知道他的名字。但我记住了他的大恩大德。”然后，我会打开办公桌上一个装满美味巧克力的抽屉，拿出巧克力来请他们品尝。

一个人的一生不会是一帆风顺的，必定会有一些曲曲折折、沟沟坎坎。不管你经历了惊涛骇浪，还是小小的考验，只要活下来就是幸运的，离幸福也只有一步之遥。带着一颗感恩的心，去生活、去与人交往，坚持自己心中的梦想与承诺，就定能为他人带去一点快乐、给自己心灵一丝安慰、体现自身的一种独特价值。
A Promise Kept
Ed Cook
I had my first chocolate bar at five years old. I’ll never forget the delicious, comforting taste. But the circumstances were anything but sweet. It was World War Ⅱ. I lived with my f***ly in the Lithuanian town of Taurage when the Russian army swept west toward Nazi Germany. Many people in our village fled in panic1.
In the confusion, I stood with my twelve-year-old sister Elyte, and my three-year-old brother Joseph, near the railroad station, where a train bound for Germany waited.
