My mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body was. Through the years, I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer.
When I was young, I thought sound was very important to us, so I said, "My ears, mommy," She said, "No. Many people can't hear any sound. But you can keep thinking about it and I will ask you again." Over the years, my mother asked me many times and always answered me ,"No, but you are getting smarter every year, my child."
Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was sad. My mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know what the most important body part is, my dear?"
I was shocked when she asked me this question at that time. I always thought it was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion （困惑） on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived your life." I saw her eyes were filed with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder." I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?" She replied, "No, it is because ________. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes in life. I only hope you have enough love and friends, so you can have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."
From then on, I knew the most important part of the body is not a selfish （自私的） one. It is the sympathetic （同情的） one to feel and share the pain of others.
