    Peter was the richest in town. He had earned himself a bad name because he was too proud of his money. One day, Peter became blind. Only by doing a cornea transplant surgery(角膜移植手术)could he see again, but there was no donor(捐献者). Peter had to wait in the hospital sadly.

    One afternoon, Peter wanted to sit in the sun, so he felt his way for the little square before the hospital. He raised his head to enjoy the sunshine. However, he saw nothing but the whole darkness.

    Just as Peter felt hopeless, someone hit him hard all of a sudden. That angered Peter, so he shouted loudly, "Don't you have eyes? Don't you see who you hit! I'm Peter!"

    The answer was from a little boy, "I'm sorry, sir. I didn't notice, please forgive me!"

    Peter changed his mind and ordered, "I can forgive you, but you must talk with me!"

    The boy began. "How beautiful! The grass is green, the sky is blue, the flowers are coming out everywhere, and the little trees are also very lovely. The clouds are floating…"

    As he was listening, Peter began to envy(嫉妒)that boy. Suddenly, he shouted, "Oh, my God, the little boy is so poor, nothing but a pair of eyes! Why do you give him light?"

    "You are wrong!" came the voice of a lady, "My son is too poor to have eyes. What he just described is what I told him!" Peter sat on the square silently, tears coming up in his eyes.

    Since then, the city charity(慈善机构)would receive a great deal of money every year from the richest person, Peter.
