JapanBThe park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, Look what I found!In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals(花瓣)all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “ It really smells pretty and its beautiful, too. Thats why I picked it. Here, its for you.”The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave .So I reached for the flower, and replied, Just what I need .But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind. I heard my voice quiver(轻微颤抖) and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “ youre wele.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact hed had on me .I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old tree. Perhaps from his heart, hed been blessed with true sight.Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second thats mine.
