One day, in a heavily crowded place, a young man began shouting, "People, look at me. I have the most beautiful heart in the world." All the people praised(称赞) him when they saw his beautiful heart in a perfect shape. However, there came an old man, "No, I don't think so. Young man, I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!"
The young man asked him, "Show me your heart, then!"
The old man showed his heart to him. The heart had scars(伤痕) all over.
The young man started laughing, and said, "My dear old man, are you mad? How can you say your heart is beautiful?"
"Dear boy. Did you see the scars? Each scar represents(代表) the love I shared with a person. I share a piece of my heart with others when I share love, and in return I get a piece of heart. Since the pieces of heart I shared were neither equal(相等的) nor in the same shape or size, my heart is not in shape. "
The young man stood quietly and did not speak a word. Tears rolled down his face.
