One afternoon I took a trip to an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the masterpieces(名作).
A young couple looking at the paintings in front of me chatted non—stop. I watched them for a moment and realized she was doing all the talking. I admired(佩服)this man for being so patient with her. Bored by their noise, I moved on.
I met them several times as I moved through those rooms of art. Each time I heard her voice, I moved away quickly. I was standing at the museum gift shop buying some cards when the couple walked to the exit.
" He's a brave man, " the clerk said. "Most of us would give up if we were blind at such a young age. But behind his wife come in whenever there's a new art show. "
"But what does he get out of the works of art?" I asked. "Hecan't see. "
" His wife describes each painting so that he can see it in his head. "
I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away holding each other's hands.
Just then, I can't help getting close to them and said, "______ "
