24、 One day, on a small farm in Maine, a man sat in a barn watching a large spider(蜘蛛) on a web. The man was E.B. White -- or Andy, as he was called -- who thought spiders were wonderful creatures. He thought one day he might like to write a children’s book about a spider.
But writing was hard work for Andy. He had written articles and essays and poems.He had also written one children’s book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just rush to turn an idea into an article or a book. He told his editor (编辑) that he needed to let his ideas ripen.
So for years, Andy continued to think about writing a children’s book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he walked slowly around his farm.
Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider’s egg sac (卵囊). Andy wanted to see the eggs hatch(孵蛋). But he was going to leave for New York City. So he found a small box and carefully placed the egg sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. The next morning , there were hundreds of baby spiders rushing across the dresser!
Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte’s Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur.
Sometimes he stopped writing and aimlessly drew pictures of spiders. Andy always said Charlotte’s Web was more than just a children’s story about animals. It was a timeless story about true friendship.

25、 It was Sunday. I had the last patient to see. She was an old woman. I walked in and saw from her chart that she was in good condition. I was almost done.
The woman was sitting on the bed, trying to put on her socks. She asked if I could help her. Instead, I started a monologue (长篇大论): “How are you feeling? You look worried. The nurse said your son is visiting you today. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”
She stopped me with a serious voice: “Sit down, Mr. Green. This is my story, not yours.”
I was surprised. I sat down and helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him for five years. She believed her health problems were worse because of missing her son. After hearing her story, I asked if there was anything else I could do. She shook her head and smiled. All she had wanted me to do was listen.
For years I have met many patients. They have their own stories. Each story is different. Some are clear; others are not. Some are true; others are not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard.
Listening to someone’s story costs nothing but it is the key to healing (康复). I often think of what the woman taught me, and I always tell myself the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. I believe in the power of listening.
