The park bench was deserted as I sat down
to read beneath an old willow tree. Not 36 with life, I was
down. A young boy out of breath 37 me, all tired from play.
He stood right before me with his head tilted(倾斜的) down, 38 with great excitement,“Look
what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a
39 sight, with is petals(花瓣) all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. 40 him
to take his dead flower and go off to play, I 41
a small smile and then shifted away. But
instead of 42 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to
his nose and declared with 43 ,“It surely smells pretty and
it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I 44 it; here, it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But
I knew Imust 45___it, or he might never leave. So I reached
for the flower, and 46 , “Just what I need.”But instead of
placing the flower in my hand, he 47 it mid-air without
reason. It was then that I 48
for the very first time the boy was
49 .
I heard my voice shake, tears shone like
the sun 50 I thanked him for picking the very best one. He
smiled, and then ran off to play, 51 of the effect he’d had
on my day.
I sat there and 52 how he
managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know
of my self-indulged(放纵的) 53 ? Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed
with true 54 .
Through the eyes of a blind child, at last
I could see, the problem was not connected with the world; the problem was me.
And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see__55___,
and appreciate every second that’s mine.
