問題詳情：

Amy, a little third-grader, was tired of being teased about her limping(跛行). It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. Sometimes even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing made her feel all alone.

One day when she heard that there was a Christmas wish contest on the radio station, she decided to write a letter to Santa.

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me Santa?

Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy. I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.

yours,

Amy

When Amy’s letter arrived at the radio station, manager Lee Tobin read it carefully. He thought it would be good for the people in Fort Wayne to hear about this special third-grader and her unusual wish. Mr. Tobin called up the local newspaper.

The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the local newspaper. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl in Fort Wayne, Indiana, who asked for such a simple Christmas gift -- just one day without teasing.

During that unforgettable Christmas season, over two thousand people from all over the world sent Amy letters of friendship and support. And Amy did get her wish of a special day without teasing at South Wayne Elementary School. Additionally, everyone at school got another lesson. Teachers and students talked together about how bad teasing can make others feel.

That year the Fort Wayne mayor(市長) officially made December 21 as Amy Day throughout the city. The mayor explained that by daring to make such a simple wish, Amy taught a universal lesson. “Everyone,” said the mayor, “wants and deserves to be treated with respect, dignity and warmth.
