she feared.
Her mother said, "Don"t be afraid, honey. Take courage!"

"Tell me about the world as you see it," I said smiling.
"Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their
feet." he said."If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they"re impatient
with me. I don"t want to make people uncomfortable.
"What about me? I asked.
"I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was
nervous." he said. "I don"t normally have someone look me in the eye."
"They don"t know what they"re missing," I told him.
