One morning Raman, a true master of the art of archery (箭术), invited his favorite student to watch a display of his skill. The student had
36 this more than a
hundred times before, but he still obeyed his
37.
Together, they went into a nearby wood and reached a tall
38. Raman picked a rose flower and
39 it on one of the branches of the tree. He
40 opened his bag and took out three objects: his
41, an arrow and a white handkerchief.
Raman stood one hundred paces from the spot where he had placed the
42. Facing his target, he
43 his student to blindfold (蒙住眼睛) him with the handkerchief. The student did as his teacher
44.
“How often have you seen me practice the sport of archery?” Raman asked him
45.
“Every day,” replied his student. “And you have
46 managed to hit the rose from three hundred paces away.”
With his eyes covered by the
47, Raman placed his feet firmly on the ground and
48 the bowstring (弓弦) with all his strength. Aiming at the rose on the
49, he let the arrow fly. The arrow whistled through the air,
50 it did not even hit the tree, missing the target by a few meters.
“Did I
51 it?” said Raman, removing the handkerchief from his eyes.
“No, you missed
52,” replied the student. “I thought you were going to
53 me the power of thought and your ability to perform magic.”
“I have
54 taught you the most important lesson about the power of thought.” replied Raman. “When you
55 something, concentrate only on that: No one will ever hit a target they cannot see.”
