A Story About Having Great Empathy

A young boy had cancer and was in the hospital for several

weeks to undergo radiation treatments and chemotherapy.During that time, he lost all of his hair. On the way home

from the hospital, he was worried, not so much about the

cancer, but about the embarrassment of going back to

school with a bald head. He had already decided not to

wear a wig or a hat.

When he arrived home, he walked in the front door and

turned on the lights. To his surprise, about thirty of hisschoolmates jumped up and shouted, ''Welcome Home!''He

looked around the room and could hardly believe his eyes.

Almost ALL of them had shaved their heads!

Answer the following questions about the passage above

1)

How would you have felt about going back to schoolthe first day after your treatments and you were bald?

2)

How do you think he felt when he saw that his friends

were bald?

4) How does this story illustrate empathy and compassion?
