Lila was a bright and curious girl who loved to help others feel better. Her mother was a medical doctor who cared for many people in their South African town. During school holidays, Lila loved going with her mother to the clinic, watching her work and learning all about healing.
Lila was amazed by her mother’s skill—how she comforted patients, gave medicine, and made sick people smile again. Lila listened carefully and asked many questions. By the time she was ten, Lila knew as much as any nurse. She could bandage cuts, measure temperatures, and even mix simple medicines.
One busy afternoon at the clinic, a patient suddenly fell very ill. The doctors had stepped out, and the nurses were busy with others. The patient’s face turned pale, and he started to gasp for air. Everyone looked worried.
Lila didn’t hesitate. She remembered everything her mother had taught her. Gently, she checked the patient’s pulse and helped him sit up. She called out for water and gave him small sips while calming his fears with a soft voice.
Using her nursing skills, Lila adjusted the oxygen mask and stayed by his side, watching closely. Slowly, the patient’s breathing eased, and color returned to his cheeks. The doctors came back to find the patient stable and Lila calm and steady.
Everyone was amazed. Her mother smiled proudly, hugging Lila tight.
“You’re a true little healer,” she said.
From that day on, Lila knew her heart and knowledge could make a big difference. She was ready for any challenge, knowing she had the power to help and heal.
The end.
