Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked (not expecting much) if Shay could play. shay的父亲走近一个男孩在外地，并要求（不指望得多） ，如果shay可以发挥。 The boy looked around for guidance and said, “We’re losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning.该名男童看为指导，并表示， “我们正在失去，由六分，比赛是在第八局。 I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the ninth inning.”我猜想，他可以对我们的团队，我们将尝试把他在向英美烟草公司在第九局“ 。

Well, the person who wrote this believes that we all can make a difference.那么，人谁写本认为，我们都能够有所作为。 We all have thousands of opportunities every single day to help realize the “natural order of things.” So many seemingly trivial interactions between two people present us with a choice: Do we pass along a little spark of love and humanity or do we pass up those opportunities and leave the world a little bit colder in the process?我们都有数以千计的机会，每一天，以帮助实现“自然的事。 ”这么多看似琐碎的互动，两个人之间，目前我们有一个选择：我们通过沿一点火花，爱与人类或做我们通过了这些机遇和离开世界的一点点寒冷在这个过程中呢？
