It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teach
43、er had referred him to me. 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 chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesnt have the answer to, and
44、 which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically. The first two times we met David didnt say a word.

45、hat he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. Its not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

46、fore I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me? Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with, I thought.

47、 Its your turn, he said. After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, an d about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life. Maybe I gave David something.
