  • 1. On a Saturday afternoon, you find most kids outside playing games. Kids were made for the outdoors, with their endless energy and the easy way in which they make friends. It's not different for Kameron, an ordinary, fun-loving 7-year-old girl who loves to draw out the world's longest hopscotch(跳格子) on the sidewalk.

    In between jump-rope games, basketball shootouts and skateboard races, Kameron takes time to do something special for her neighbors. Kameron's community is home to a good mix of young families and elderly neighbors whose children have long since left home. Kameron first started waving to them. Most of them smiled back.

    Then Kameron decides that some of them need a little pleasure. So she runs home, takes her violin and makes the rounds. "Can I play you a song?" she asks, after knocking on the door.

    Gustav smiles wide. He has beautiful white hair and a soft accent. He grew up in Scandinavia and is a wood finisher. His wife Vivian has a smile that fills their tiny home. She stands awkwardly, and has difficulty moving about. It looks terribly uncomfortable. Vivian has had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩) for over 20 years. Gustav is her full-time caregiver. They've replaced their daily walks with afternoon drives, but even those are getting too difficult for Vivian.

    Gus lets Kameron in, and Vivian takes hold of both their arms and pulls to her chair. On the table beside her is a photo of her with Gus when they were young and energetic, traveling around Europe, Egypt and Iceland. In the photo, Vivian is very beautiful, and Gus is handsome.

    "Want me to play your favorite song?" Kameron asks. "Of course," Gus answers. It is the only song Kameron knows.

    The small violin rests seriously under Kameron's chin(下巴). She plays as best she can. Vivian beats her knee obviously to keep rhythm(节奏) for Kameron. Gus holds Vivian's other hand. It's not the performance that is moving, but the memories it brings.
