Sakima did many things that other six year old boys did not do. For example, he could sit with older members of the village and discuss important matters.

萨Sà可kě满mǎn的de父fù母mǔ在zài富fù人rén的de家jiā里lǐ工gōng作zuò。他tā们men每měi天tiān早zǎo出chū晚wǎn归guī，萨Sà可kě满mǎn就jiù和hé妹mèi妹mei呆dāi在zài家jiā里lǐ。

The parents of Sakima worked at the rich man’s house. They left home early in the morning and returned late in the evening. Sakima was left with his little sister.

萨Sà可kě满mǎn很hěn喜xǐ欢huan唱chàng歌gē。有yǒu一yī天tiān，他tā的de妈mā妈ma问wèn他tā：“萨Sà可kě满mǎn，你nǐ从cóng哪nǎ儿r学xué了le这zhè些xiē歌gē？”

Sakima loved to sing songs. One day his mother asked him, “Where do you learn these songs from, Sakima?”

萨Sà可kě满mǎn回huí答dá说shuō：“它tā们men就jiù这zhè样yàng出chū现xiàn在zài我wǒ的de脑nǎo海hǎi里lǐ，我wǒ想xiǎng到dào了le这zhè些xiē歌gē，就jiù把bǎ它tā们men唱chàng了le出chū来lai。”

Sakima answered, “They just come, mother. I hear them in my head and then I sing.”

萨Sà可kě满mǎn很hěn喜xǐ欢huan给gěi他tā的de妹mèi妹mei唱chàng歌gē，特tè别bié是shì她tā肚dù子zi饿è的de时shí候hou。妹mèi妹mei听tīng着zhe萨Sà可kě满mǎn唱chàng他tā最zuì喜xǐ欢huan的de歌gē，跟gēn着zhe甜tián美měi的de歌gē声shēng摆bǎi动dòng起qǐ来lai。

Sakima liked to sing for his little sister, especially, if she felt hungry. His sister would listen to him singing his favourite song. She would sway to the soothing tune.

萨Sà可kě满mǎn的de妹mèi妹mei经jīng常cháng求qiú他tā：“再zài唱chàng一yī次cì吧ba！”萨Sà可kě满mǎn唱chàng了le一yī遍biàn又yòu一yī遍biàn。

“Can you sing it once more, Sakima?” his sister would beg him. Sakima would accept and sing it over and over again.

有yǒu一yī天tiān晚wǎn上shang，萨Sà可kě满mǎn的de父fù母mǔ回huí到dào家jiā以yǐ后hòu一yī句jù话huà也yě不bù说shuō。萨Sà可kě满mǎn知zhī道dào一yī定dìng发fā生shēng了le什shén么me不bù好hǎo的de事shì情qing。

One evening when his parents returned home, they were very quiet. Sakima knew that there was something wrong.

萨Sà可kě满mǎn问wèn爸bà爸ba妈mā妈ma发fā生shēng了le什shén么me事shì，他tā这zhè才cái知zhī道dào，原yuán来lái富fù人rén的de儿ér子zi失shī踪zōng了le，富fù人rén孤gū单dān一yī人rén，很hěn伤shāng心xīn。

“What is wrong, mother, father?” Sakima asked. Sakima learned that the rich man’s son was missing. The man was very sad and lonely.

萨Sà可kě满mǎn对duì父fù母mǔ说shuō：“我wǒ可kě以yǐ给gěi他tā唱chàng歌gē，这zhè样yàng他tā就jiù会huì高gāo兴xìng起qǐ来lai了le。”但dàn是shì萨Sà可kě满mǎn的de父fù母mǔ不bù喜xǐ欢huan这zhè个ge主zhǔ意yi：“他tā很hěn有yǒu钱qián，而ér你nǐ只zhǐ是shì一yī个gè看kàn不bu见jiàn的de小xiǎo男nán孩hái。你nǐ以yǐ为wéi你nǐ的de歌gē声shēng会huì帮bāng到dào他tā吗ma？”

“I can sing for him. He might be happy again,” Sakima told his parents. But his parents dismissed him. “He is very rich. You are only a blind boy. Do you think your song will help him?”

但dàn是shì萨Sà可kě满mǎn没méi有yǒu放fàng弃qì，他tā的de妹mèi妹mei也yě鼓gǔ励lì他tā。她tā说shuō：“萨Sà可kě满mǎn的de歌gē声shēng能néng赶gǎn走zǒu饥jī饿è，他tā肯kěn定dìng也yě能néng安ān慰wèi富fù人rén。”

However, Sakima did not give up. His little sister supported him. She said, “Sakima’s songs soothe me when I am hungry. They will soothe the rich man too.”

第dì二èr天tiān，萨Sà可kě满mǎn让ràng他tā的de妹mèi妹mei带dài他tā去qù富fù人rén的de房fáng子zi。

The following day, Sakima asked his little sister to lead him to the rich man’s house.

他tā站zhàn在zài一yī扇shàn大dà窗chuāng户hu的de下xià面mian，开kāi始shǐ唱chàng他tā最zuì喜xǐ欢huan的de歌gē。慢màn慢màn的de，富fù人rén的de脑nǎo袋dai从cóng窗chuāng户hu里lǐ伸shēn出chū来lai。

He stood below one big window and began to sing his favourite song. Slowly, the head of the rich man began to show through the big window.

工gōng人rén们men停tíng下xià了le工gōng作zuò。他tā们men仔zǐ细xì地de听tīng着zhe萨Sà可kě满mǎn唱chàng歌gē。有yǒu一yī个gè人rén说shuō：“从cóng来lái没méi有yǒu人rén能néng安ān慰wèi老lǎo板bǎn，这zhè个ge看kàn不bu见jiàn的de男nán孩hái觉jué得de他tā可kě以yǐ做zuò到dào吗ma？”

The workers stopped what they were doing. They listened to Sakima’s beautiful song. But one man said, “Nobody has been able to console the boss. Does this blind boy think he will console him?”

萨Sà可kě满mǎn唱chàng完wán了le，准zhǔn备bèi离lí开kāi。富fù人rén跑pǎo出chū来lai，说shuō：“请qǐng再zài唱chàng一yī遍biàn吧ba！”

Sakima finished singing his song and turned to leave. But the rich man rushed out and said, “Please sing again.”

就jiù在zài那nà时shí，两liǎng个gè人rén抬tái着zhe担dān架jià走zǒu来lái了le，担dān架jià上shàng是shì富fù人rén的de儿ér子zi！他tā们men发fā现xiàn这zhè个ge人rén被bèi打dǎ得de面miàn目mù全quán非fēi，躺tǎng在zài路lù边biān。

At that very moment, two men came carrying someone on a stretcher. They had found the rich man’s son beaten up and left on the side of the road.

富fù人rén很hěn高gāo兴xìng儿ér子zi找zhǎo回huí来lai了le。为wèi了le感gǎn谢xiè萨Sà可kě满mǎn安ān慰wèi他tā，他tā把bǎ萨Sà可kě满mǎn和hé他tā的de儿ér子zi一yī起qǐ送sòng到dào了le医yī院yuàn，萨Sà可kě满mǎn很hěn快kuài就jiù会huì恢huī复fù视shì力lì了le。

The rich man was so happy to see his son again. He rewarded Sakima for consoling him. He took his son and Sakima to hospital so Sakima could regain his sight.
