I sat down to read under an old tree in the park. I felt my life was 21 , for my whole world was dark.
A young boy ran up to me, out of 22 . He stood right before me with his head down and said 23 , ¡°Look what I found!¡± In his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and 24 . I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play.
25 , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his 26 and said in surprise, ¡°It smells sweet and it¡¯s beautiful, too. That¡¯s 27 I picked it. Here, it¡¯s for you.¡± The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must 28 it, or he might never leave. So I accepted the flower, and replied, ¡°This is just what I 29 .¡± Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not 30 £he was blind.
Tears(ÑÛÀá) came down my face as I 31 him for picking the best one. ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± he smiled, and then ran off to 32 . I sat there and wondered how he was able to learn about my pain(Í´¿à).
Through the eyes of a blind child, 33 I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all those years I myself had been 34 . I decided to see the beauty in life, and 35 every second of my life. And then I held that dry flower up to my nose and breathed in the smell of a beautiful rose.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next to ours was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing (·ìÈÒ) and reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, ¡°Why doesn¡¯t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.¡±
One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including cleaning the window.
Late in the afternoon I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (ȱµã) ?
From then on, whenever I want to judge (ÅжÏ) someone, I ask myself first, ¡°Am I looking at him through my own dirty window? ¡± Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others¡¯ world more clearly.
