　　The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s 　33　. It was full of scars, it had places 　34　 pieces had been removed and other pieces 　35　 in, but they didn’t fit quite right, and there were several 　36　 edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gaps where whole pieces were missing.
　　The young man laughed. “ 　37　 your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars.”
　　“Yes,” said the old man, “Yours 　38　 perfect but I would never trade with you. You see, every 　39　 represents a person 　40　 I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they 　41　 me a piece of their heart that fits into the 　42　 place in my heart. But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they remind me of the love we 　43　.
　　“Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart 　44　, and the other person hasn’t returned a 　45　 of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gaps—giving love is 　46　 a chance. Although these gaps are painful, they 　47　 open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have been waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?’’
