Peter wondered why he didn’t have many friends. The reason was that he was always taking, never giving.
One day Peter told Bill, ＂I’d like to give a party on Saturday. I’d like you to come and bring Martha, too. ＂
＂Thanks, Peter. We’d be happy to come. ＂＂Perhaps you’d like to bring your violin. You and Martha sing well together. I’m sure everyone will want you to sing for us. ＂That was how Peter began to plan his party. Next, he asked another friend, Betty, to bring a cake. ＂You make the best cake in the world, Betty, and I like to eat your cake better than have one from the bakery. ＂Peter invited a few other friends to come to his party. He didn’t forget to ask something from each one of them. He even asked Jim and Mary Jackson to let him give the party at their house! They agreed.
The party was a big success. However, as the guests were leaving, they said ＂Thank you. ＂to Bill and Martha for the music, Betty for the cake, the Jacksons for the use of the house and to others for their hard work. To Peter they just said, ＂Thanks for the invitation. ＂

It was a sunny winter day. I had gone down the tower when a blind man came toward me. He kept close to the wall, touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walking toward the tower.
"What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for?" I wondered (疑惑). "Not the view(景色) certainly, perhaps he wants to jump. "Thinking of some terrible reasons, I thought I should him.
He went up slowly and from time to time. I followed him a few steps behind. When he got to the first corner of the bell tower, I came close to him. "Excuse me, "I said as politely as I could, "but I wonder you came up."
He smiled, "Perhaps climbing up the tower. You have noticed — and yet, not being blind, perhaps you won’t — how the sun shines into the tower the windows here and there, so that one can the cool steps suddenly become quite warm, even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade(阴影). There is no place so good as this for feeling the difference between light and darkness. Though I’m blind, I also want to feel the brought by the sunlight. In fact, it isn’t my first time to be here." He said and seemed as as a child.
I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to the beautiful life. But we often paid no attention to its value because we never it.
We went down the together and I left him. From then on, I began to treasure what life has given me.
