Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen 41 his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but 42 for a glance.
One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden, lost in admiration at the beauty of the scenery. Then, suddenly he 43 the old gardener was blind. 44 , the young man asked, “Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can’t 45 in fact?” The old man smiled and answered that “ I can tell you 46 reasons. First I was a 47 when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, yet I can 48 them. Third,I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s 49 .
“Me? But you don’t know me,” responded the young man 50 .
“Yeah, it’s 51 that I don’t know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never turn them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good mood(心情). In the meantime, it also 52 a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.”
The old man’s 53 astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and serves them as a link of minds so as to make everybody enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn’t it one kind of happiness?
I believe every flower has 54 with which they can see the kindness of the man’s heart. The blind man grows flowers in his heart. Though 55 to see the beauty of blossoming, he surely can hear the voice of it, I suppose.
