Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn't let it stop him. The brave young man plays football and golf, swims, and surfs, despite the fact that he has no limbs（四肢）
Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes. "I call it my chicken drumstick, " joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. "I'd be lost without it. When I get in the water I float(漂浮) because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller(螺旋桨). "
Although Nick Vujicic had long-term girlfriends in the past, he is not mamed yet. " He's very shy, but he gets marriage offers from women all the time, " said Nick's friend, Steve Appel, an expert from Los Angeles. "He would love to get married and start a family, but he's waiting for the right girl to come along. "
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room to vomit(呕吐). His distraughtmother couldn't bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.
His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them. " My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy , but she still blamed(责备) herself, " he said.
"It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. When I was 18 months old my dad put me in the water and gave me the courage to learn how to swim. "

There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
