In a small town in England there is a nice house with a large garden._______. The old man likes planting flowers and looking after his flowers. The garden is so beautiful that every passer-by wants to stop to see it.
One day a young painter went by the old man’s garden. He looked at the great garden and the special house. He was lost in admiration for the beauty of these scenes. He imagined how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place._________ Surprised, the painter asked that old man, “Why are you busy looking after these flowers every day when you can’t see them?” The blind gardener smiled and answered, “ I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can’t see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them.____________”
“Me? But you don’t know me,” said the painter.
“Yeah, it’s true that I don’t know you. But I know flowers are beautiful angels. I know many people will look at my garden and the beauty of my garden will make them feel good.________At the same time we enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us.” The old man’s words surprised the painter a great deal and gave him much pleasure.
The blind man grows flowers in order that everybody can enjoy their beauty. _________All the passers-by are his friends; all flowers are his neighbors.
I believe every flower has eyes. They can see the kindness of the old man’s heart and the sweetness of his soul.
