She slowly put her arm around the child and started 36 a song in German. The child kept smiling and started repeating the words after her. The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang, but the rhythm(节奏) was the same. Jenny sat a little more and the child followed her again. Wanting to join in the 37 , another child went up to Jenny and started singing the rhythm. Then more children joined. They 38 many smiles together.
From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them. Noticing Leela’s 39 on her, Jenny had an exciting feeling from her heart: “See, I don’t have any language barriers here. We 40 speak and communicate!” At that moment, she understood: we’re all simple human, and we have the ability to connect with each other.

“It’s not the way,” I answered.
“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).”
