One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town saying that he had the most beautiful heart. A large crowd gathered and         his heart for it was perfect. There was not a scar（伤疤）in it. Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Your heart is not as        as mine.”
The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s heart. It was full of         , and it had places where pieces had been taken out and other pieces        in, but they didn’t fit quite right. In fact, in some places there were deep gaps where whole pieces were        .
The young man laughed. “        your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars.” “Yes,” said the old man, “Yours is perfect but I would never         with you. You see, every scar stands for a person to whom I have given my         . I tear（撕） out a piece of my heart and give it to them,          often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the           place in my heart. But because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish（珍惜）, because they show me the love we         . Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart         , but the other person hasn’t           a  piece of his or her heart to me. These are the empty gaps — giving love is taking a chance.       gaps stay open, they make me remember the love I have for those people too, and I hope someday they may return and          the space. So now do you see what true beauty is?”
The young man walked up to the old man,         his perfect heart, and tore a piece out. He           it to the old man. The old man placed it in his heart, then took a piece from his old         heart and placed it in the young man’s heart. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man’s heart           into his.
How sad it must be to        a life with a whole untouched heart!
