Nelson gave me a big smile and said , " Here , please use it ." This was the beginning of our friendship . We often played together and soon other students began to play with us .
 Five months later , it became difficult for Nelson to come to school because his disease got worse . On his birthday , each student in our class wrote a card to encourage him . I brought the cards to Nelson and read them to him . When I finished reading , he said , " It's very nice to know I am not ( D ) ." Then he showed me a pen and said , " Do you remember this ?
