An old man lived in a nice housea large garden. He took care of his flowers all the time, (water) and fertilizing(施肥) them.
One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imagininghappy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place. Then, (sudden) he found the old gardener was blind. He was very surprised about this and asked, "You can't see these flowers. Why are you busy (take)care of them every day? "
The old man smiled and said, "I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, I can't see these flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As to the last one, that's (you). "
"Me? But you don't know me, "said the young man.
"Yes, it's true that I don't know you. But I know that flowers are angels (天使) that everybody knows. We enjoy the(happy) these flowers bring us."
The blind man's work opened our eyes and pleased our heart, which made his life happier. It was just like Beethoven, who became deaf (聋的) in his later life and wrote many great musical works. Beethoven himself couldn't hear his wonderful music, but his music has encouraged (million) of people to face their difficulties bravely. Isn't it one kind of happiness?
