I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was
21 , for my whole world was dark.
A young boy ran up to me, out of
22 . He stood right before me with his head down and said
23 , “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and
24 . I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes aways so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play.
25 , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his
26 and said in surprise, “It smells sweet and it’s beautiful, too. That’s
27 I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must
28 it, or he might never leave. So I accepted the flower, and replied, “This is just what I
29 .” Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not
30 —he was blind.
Tears (眼泪) came down my face as I
31 him for picking the best one. “You’re welcome.” he smiled, and then ran off to
32 . I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain (痛苦).
Through the eyes of a blind child,
33 I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been
34 . I decided to see the beauty in life, and
35 every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.
