Not long ago,my daughter's leather shoes were cut by a knife.She burst into tears.I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young shoemaker took a look at the opening and said, "There is (1) I can do but change the leather."
His master looked at them and said to me, "If you (2) C me,I will add more cuts in the form of special style and reuse."
I didn't quite know why,but I decided to (3) the shoes.
Two days later,I went there to get the shoes.At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six (4) on each shoe,but all the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed (缝) with thick thread (线).The shoes looked more special and interesting than ever.I couldn't help (5) the master for his work.
Another time,my sister's white (6) had a large opening on the back.My wife took it over and checked (7) ,and then said, "Let me take it home and repair it."
Three days went past,and I was (8) to see it again:all the openings were sewed up by thin and(9) thread and they looked like the ice crystal (晶体) on winter's branches (树枝) in the north.She (10) made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse.I said with praise,"I's just as beautiful as a piece of (11) ."
"I learned from the master.Patches (补丁) can be designed to look (12) ." replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more:perfection is (13) to achieve in everything;patches are unavoidable (不可避免的),so is human's life,which will appear in the form of wound,disability or disease. (14) you can't change that,all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound,and that is (15) life teaches us.Once you understand it,you can enjoy your life better.
