BALTIMORE, MARYLAND — An old postcard changed the lives of an eleven-year-old boy and a very sick woman. The postcard had a picture of the steamship Titanic. The Titanic was the largest ocean ship in the world. It hit an iceberg (冰山) and sank on April 14,1912. More than 1,500 of the 2,200 people on the ship were killed.      The postcard was passed from one person to another for more than 80 years: Then it appeared at a card show for people who liked to collect post cards. An eleven-year-old boy, Joey Russell, came to the show with his grandfather. His grandfather knew everything about the Titanic and its trip from England to New York. " Let' s buy that postcard ," he told Joey.  " It will be important someday."      Two years later, Joey's grandfather took him on a special trip. They went on a trip to the North Atlantic Ocean to watch as workers pulled the Titanic up from the bottom(底)of the ocean. Joey put his special postcard in his bag for the trip. On the ship, Joey met Edith Haisman. This woman was on the Titanic when it sank. She was one of the people who were rescued. Joey pulled the postcard out of his pocket.  " Please sign this , Mrs. Haisman ." he said. She was happy to write her name on the back of the postcard.      When Joey got home, he put the postcard away and forgot about it.

The operation was very expensive, and the family needed $80,000 to pay for it. Friends and relatives tried to help.

" Millions of people are seeing this movie and reading about the Titanic ," Joey thought. He remembered the old postcard with Edith Haisman 's signature on it.  "Maybe I can sell it for some money. Then I can help Kate 's mom."      Joey told his mother and father about his idea to help Mrs. Shelley. His parents helped him try to sell the postcard to the person who would pay the most money for it. Joey's story was on television and in news papers.
