The clerk at the desk told me about Madina, an eight-year-old girl. The doctors found a

problem in her brain. When I entered Madina’s room. She was on the chair next to Nodir, a little boy. Though Madina didn’t feel well, she was playing with Nodir and his toys. It took a lot of effort for her just to sit on the chair. But she played with Nodir because it made him happy. Madina was always smiling and never appeared to be in pain. Another day she went outside to get flowers for another sick girl. Madina made everyone smile. Her operation was successful. Madina was fine. She got better and left the hospital a month later. I have had a long career as a doctor. However, I have never met another girl like Madina. Even after she got well, she still visited the hospital. She played games with young patients. She read many books to older patients. Madina’s kind heart helped her get better so quickly. She was a hero to me and everyone else at the hospital.
