On a recent morning in Clearwater, Florida, Maja Kazazic jumped down into water. From a distance, the
dolphin seemed friendly enough. Still, Kazazic felt a little panic slide into her excitement. In spite of her fear,
she felt strong wearing her new leg.
In second grade in Bosnia, Kazazic lost her cousin, Jasmina. Kazazic promised she would honor Jasmina
by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls loved. "Jasmina never got the chance to do it," says
Kazazic,"so I decided that someday I'd do it for her."
However, in 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut just below
the knee and she received her first artificial (人工的) leg in the US. Because there was so little bone left, and
with her right leg also damaged, walking was rather painful, but she managed to graduate from college. She
was able to play golf or tennis.
Then one day a young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail, caught Kazazic's eye. Trainers were fitting
Winter with a high-tech tail. When they were done, Winter dashed off through the water.
Kazazic was excited. If she can do this, there's no way I can't, she thought. Within ten days, she had a
new leg with the help of the inventor. Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise. "After being
in a war, this should be a piece of cake," Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. Then and there the
two went on an hour-long swim around the pool.
When Kazazic climbed out, she quietly said, "I feel like I owed (欠) somebody something, and now I've
paid my debt." Out in the parking lot, she got into her car and cried till she lost her voice.
