Doctor Boy
The little girl in #4 had curly red hair and a thin face. She was old enough to go to school, but didn't. She always talked softly. Owen, at an age to be impressionable, was fascinated.
Owen thought she'd moved away, because he never saw her any more. Then he heard the grown-ups talking: "so very sad," they said. He realized she had died. "The doctors couldn't do a thing."
Owen decided then and there to grow be a doctor someday, and not just any kind of doctor. He was going to be the kind of doctor who saved people.
