   Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen   36   his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended that every passer-by could not but   37   for a glance.

   One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden,   38   in admiration at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he   39   the old gardener was blind.40   , the young man asked, “Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can’t  41  in fact?” The old man smiled and answered that “ I can tell you  42   reasons. First I was a   43  when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, yet I can   44  them. Third，I can smell sweetness of them. As to the last one, that’s  45  .

   “Me? But you don’t know me,” responded the young man   46   .

   “Yeah, it’s   47  that I don’t know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never   48   them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good  49   . In the meantime, it also   50  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  51  astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and  52  them as a link of minds so as to make   53   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.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36  had such a big influence   37  a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39 to express my own  40   on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41  experiences. There are still many things   42  me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43  yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44  . There are so many things around us that    45   our will. We can’t force life    46   our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47  it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48  the world. I think we should learn to accept   49  life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to  50  every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51  that they slip by and leave you feeling   52  . I realize that I’m not just living   53  myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54  .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55  that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
