A
An aged man lived in a nice cottage (小
屋)ꎬ with a large garden in a town in England.
He is seen busy looking after his flowers all the
time.
One dayꎬ a young painter went by this
garden. He was deeply attracted by the beautiful
flowersꎬ imagining how happy he could be if he
lived there. Thenꎬ suddenly he found the old
gardener was blind.
The painter was very surprised to askꎬ
“Why are you busy tending these flowers which
you cant see?”
The blind gardener smiledꎬ answeringꎬ “ I
can tell you four reasons. Firstꎬ I really like this
job. Secondꎬ although I cant see these flowersꎬ
yet I can touch them. Thirdꎬ I can smell the
sweetness of them. As to the last oneꎬ thats
you.”
“Me? But you dont know meꎬ” responded
the painter.
“Yeahꎬ its true that I dont know you. But I
know flowers are earthly angels which everyone
knows and would never turn them down. I know
many people who show warmth in life would stop
by and the beauty of my garden will get them into
a good mood. At the same timeꎬ it also gets me
more chances to have a word with you here and to
enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought
us.”
I believe every flower has eyes with which
they can see the kindness of the old mans heart
and the sweetness of his soul. He grows flowers
in his heart. I suppose although he couldnt see
the beauty of blossoming (开花)ꎬ he surely can
hear the voice of it.
