That’s      I picked it. Here, it’s for you.” The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must      it, or he might never leave. So I accepted the flower, and replied, “This is just what I     .” Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not      —he was blind.
Tears (眼泪) came down my face as I    him for picking the best one. “You’re welcome.” he smiled, and then ran off to     . I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain (痛苦).
Through the eyes of a blind child,        I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been    . I decided to see the beauty in life, and     every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.

As I sat down to dinner yesterday the phone rang. It was a child’s voice on the other end. He explained that they had found a　 16　 . From his description I knew it was my daughter’s.

I asked them to　 17　 a few minutes. I went out and drove my car to the place where they were. When I 18　 , I saw a group of five children, aged about 7 to 9. They told me　 19　 and where they’d found the purse. They also told me some bigger kids had tried to take it　 20　 they hadn’t let them do that.

How nice and　 21　 they were! Since we were near a　 22　 , I asked if they would like sweets as a reward (奖赏). They looked　 23　 maybe because they had never expected a reward. I had a few coins in my pocket, so I gave them one each. And　 24　 of them said thank you. They were so lovely. I told them I had another three pounds in coins — not enough to give them one each, but maybe they could　 25　 . To my surprise, they said, “Oh,　 26　 ! We’ve got enough. You　 27　 those.”

As I left, I heard them　 28　 talking about what sweets they could buy. When I got back home, there was a　 29　 on TV talking about some crimes (犯罪活动) children had committed. It painted a terrible picture of youngsters. I　 30　 the channel. When it came to (当说到) kids of these days, I knew better!
