Not long before, my daughter's shoes were scratched with a knife．She burst into   36 ．I took them to the shoemaker to get them   37 ．

       The young apprentice （学徒） glanced at the opening and said, " 38   I can do except replace the upper．" His master looked at them and said to me, "If you   39   me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes．" _O%

       I was   40   and asked why．

       He explained, "As if the openings were made   41   for the sake of special style and reuse．"

       Another time, my wife's sister's white blouse had been torn, leaving a large opening on the back．My wife   45   the blouse carefully, and then said, "Let me take it   46 _ and mend it．"

       Seeing the blouse again, I was shocked: all the torn parts had been sewed up by thin and   47   thread and they   48   a look of ice crystal （冰晶 ） hanging from a winter's branch． 49   , she had attached a snowman and a cabin made of flowery cotton rags onto the shirt．I 50   with praise, "It's just as beautiful as a piece of   51   !"

       "I was inspired by that craftsman．Patches are supposed to be   52 , but a skillful craftsman can make it take on a kind of perfection," replied my wife．

       Her words inspired me even more: Perfection is   53   to achieve in everything; Patches are unavoidable, so is human's life．Since you can't   54   the existence of wound, you should not expect people's   55   by exposing the wound, which reveals nothing meaningful．
