“Your honor(法官大人)！Let me say a few words for myself. What they have told you is just not true. I was not trying to kill anyone, and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time. I didn"t have anything to tell people that night and was quite alone. I didn"t know them and needn"t hate them. I was attacked by them, and I knocked one of them down. It"s true, but I was made to do it, or I might be killed by them. I did this not because I hated the white men as they said. I just had to do so. While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men, a policeman came, caught me and took me here. I know why I was beaten. I have just moved into a house next to these three white men. I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet. I think, as an American, I have the right to choose where to live. I am guilty. What makes me guilty is my color opposite to theirs and I can"t enjoy justice(公正). Yes, I"m not guilty. This is all I want to say. Thank you, your honor.”

Then I 51 with my friends. It wasn’t until I had got home that I realized I had forgotten to keep my promise. “That’s OK,” I thought, “I will spend 52 time with her tomorrow.”
The next day I was told that she had 53 at midnight. She wanted company and I let her down. She left the world quietly. If I had stayed in her room, would she be home surrounded by her 54 right now? I would never know. What I do know is this: I have 55 every patient’s request since that night.
