One day my mother went out to visit a neighbor. I hurt my finger(割伤手指) when I was playing. I walked around the house, finally seeing the telephone. I didn't know my parents’ number so I called the number of my birthday. “Hello, this is Paul.” A small clear voice spoke into my ear,“ Hello, this is sally.”

“I hurt my finger...” I cried into the phone.

“Isn’ t your mother at home?” came the question.

“ Nobody is at home but me,” I cried.“ Are you bleeding?” the voice asked. “No, ”I replied. “I hit my finger and it hurts.”

“Can you open your icebox” she asked. I said I could.

“Then take a little piece of ice and put it onto your finger, ”said the voice.

After that, I called for everything. I asked her to help with my geography and she told me where the

Amazon(亚马逊河) was. She seemed to know everything. We became close friends because she was always there to listen. From them on,we shared everything about happiness and sadness.

I called and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring happiness to all families, only to end up in death? \"She listened, then said slowly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Hearing that, I felt better.

Twenty years later, when I called the number 1-9-8-3-0-5-2-7 again, a different voice told me Sally died on Christmas five days before. Sally left a message for me. The note said,“I still say there are other worlds to sing in.” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.
