Once upon a time there lived an old man in a nice cottage with a large garden. The old man was seen his flowers all the time. They were so well-tended(照顾得好) that every passer-by could not but for a glance.

One day a young man went by the garden. He gazed at the splendid garden, in admiration（赞美） at the beauty of these sceneries. Then, suddenly he the old gardener was blind. , the young man asked, "Why are you busy tending these flowers every day which you can't in fact?" The old man smiled and answered that "I can tell you reasons. First I was a when I was young, and I really like this job. Second, although I can't see these flowers, yet I can them.

"Me? But you don't know me," responded the young man .

"Yeah, it's that I don't know you. But I know everyone knows flowers and would never them down. I know the beauty of my garden will get many people into a good . In the meantime, it also a chance to me to have a word with you here and to enjoy the happiness these flowers have brought us."

The old man's astonished me. The blind man grows flowers and them as a link of minds（心灵的连接） so as to make enjoy the sunshine in spring. Isn't it one kind of happiness?
