  It was my seventh year teaching first grade. 
  One mid-March day, the kids were at break between classes, in expectation of the coming carnival at noon when something terrible happened, on a child’s level  31  — someone stole the Twinkie out of Abby’s desk.
Irritated, I stopped all morning work,  32  its return. 
No Twinkie appeared.
Five hours passed, but the class still sat with their heads down, listening to me  33  on the importance of honesty and being  34  for one’s own mistakes.
I was really sweating it out. Was I  35 ? No, my heart told me. All we needed was the  36 .
My afternoon aide arrived. A mother of four, she  37  to take the kids one by one into the hall for questioning. 
When the time came for  38  to be questioned, it was over within a minute.

There was  43  for at least a minute. Perhaps the kids were measuring their words…
Then, one little girl  44  her hand. She stood straight and said in a strong voice, “We  45  you, Peter.”
The words  46  through our heads. Forgiveness... one of the last things Jesus taught us as he was dying on the  47 . Forgiveness.
Suddenly, all twenty-eight kids raced to Peter and  48  him with hugs and pats on his back, cheers, and laughter. It was like the prodigal son had returned home.
I learned that day how forgiveness heals. How good it feels to say, “I forgive you,” and how 49  it is to hear that you are forgiven.
And the Twinkie? Abby never did eat it. She gave it back to Peter with a  50  hug and smile.

The WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13,703 – a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.
“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely,” Dr Aylward said. 
However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic (传染病). “I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control,” he said.
Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating(震荡的) pattern where the disease moves up and down”.
The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.
In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We’re still seeing this thing burning quite hot in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward said

The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.
