As a child, there was nthing I liked better than Sunday afternns at my grandfather’s farm in western Pennsylvania. Surrunded by miles f stne walls, the huse and field prvided endless hurs f fun fr a city kid like me.
Since my first visit t the farm, I had wanted mre than anything t be allwed t climb the stne walls surrunding the huses. My parents wuld never agree because the walls were s ld that sme stnes were lse and falling. Hwever, my idea t climb acrss thse walls grew s strng that finally I had all my curage t enter the living rm, where the adults had gathered after Sunday dinner.
“I want t climb the stne walls.” I said. “Heavens, n! Yu’ll hurt yurself!” The respnse was just as I’d expected. But befre I left the rm, I was stpped by my grandfather’s lud vice. “Nw hld n just a minute.” I heard him say. “Let the by climb the stne walls. He has t learn t d things fr himself.”
“G,” he said t me, “and cme and see me when yu get back.” Fr the next tw and a half hurs I climbed thse ld walls —and had the time f my life.

Always remember, there’s nly ne persn in this whle wrld like yu, and I like yu exactly as yu are.”
Many years have passed since then, and tday I hst the televisin prgram Mister Rgers’ Neighbrhd, seen by millins f children thrughut America. There have been changes ver the years, but ne thing remains the same: my message t children at the end f almst every visit. “There’s nly ne persn in this whle wrld like yu,” the kids will hear me say, “and peple can like yu exactly as yu are.”

When the exhausted Plish sldiers came upn Wjtek, they were immediately struck with emtins. They had been away frm their lved nes fr a lng time. They needed smething t pick their spirits up.
