题目内容:
For the longest time,Amber Austwick was unable to speak.In fact,it took a donkey to inspire her first words. Amber,a 6-year-old girl in Birmingham,England,was born prematurely,along with her twin sister,Hope,in June 2010.
Both babies suffered severe bleeding in their lungs,but Hope got stronger while Amber needed a life-saving tracheotomy(气管切开术)that restricted air to vocal cords(声带).As a result,she was able to breathe,but unable to speak.But that changed three years ago,when Amber's mom,Tracy Austwick,took her to an animal shelter.It was there that Amber met Shocks,a donkey that had been rescued from abuse.
“It was quite scary really,”Tracy Austwick said.“Shocks was in the stadium and the riding instructor took little Amber to him and I found it scary for me because Shocks was so much bigger than her.”“But Amber wasn't scared and Shocks was really excited to meet her and they've kept that bond ever since.”The bond is so strong that when Amber was ready to say her first words,she said them to Shocks:“I love you.”
Amber's mother was shocked that her daughter spoke to Shocks.“It was such an emotional moment.I couldn't believe my daughter had finally found her voice,”she said.“Once she met Shocks he brought her out of her shell, she's a lot more confident with him and with friends at school who she loves to talk to about him and the donkey shelter.”
Although Shocks still lives at the shelter,he's part of the Austwick family.“Amber will always visit Shocks and she still sees him whenever she can,”Tracy said.
