26、estlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and Im very worried about him. Can you help?” I looked at David and showed him to a chai
27、r. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesnt have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and silently.

31、about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that onewithout any wordscan reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.22. When he first m
