An Accident
/The machine had caught his hand. We'd seen him hammer in the shop. He had strong, wonderful hands.
"I might amputate to save you," the doctor said.
"Not my hand!" our friend cried.
"But it's a matter of your life. I'm supposed to show mercy."
Where would it be for the cripple?, we thought.
