a rare and serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be
a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously
survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to
combat the illness.
The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked
the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister.
He hesitated for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying,
"YES, I'LL DO IT IF IT WILL SAVE MEENA."
As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and
smiled, seeing the color returning to her cheeks. Then
his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and
asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away?"
Being young, the boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was
GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE HIS SISTER ALL OF HIS BLOOD.
