Like any new parents, Mr and Mrs Vujicic were nervous and happy! The day of their son's birth had finally arrived! It was December the fourth 1982. It was a day they would never forget. Nick Vujicic was born in Melbourne, Australia. But when Nick was born, he shocked everyone. There was no explanation or answers for his condition. Nick was born without any limbs² - that is he was born without any arms or legs. Over twenty years later, he wrote his amazing story. David Bast reads the story for us.

和许多初为父母的人一样，武伊契奇先生和他妻子既紧张又幸福！他们儿子出生的那天终于到了！这一天是1982年12月14日。这是他们永远不会忘记的一天。尼克·武伊契奇出生在澳大利亚墨尔本。但是，尼克出生时，他令所有人都感到震惊。他的情况无法解释也无法解答。尼克出生时没有四肢，他出生时既没有胳膊也没有腿。20多年以后，武伊契奇写下了他不可思议的人生故事。大卫·贝斯特将为我们朗读这个故事。
