Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. It was incomplete and 　36　 　could roll only very slowly. While rolling, it 　37　 　the flowers along the way, chatted with worms and enjoyed the 　38　 .

One day the circle found a piece that fit 　39　 . It was so happy. Now it could be

　 40　 　with nothing missing. It fixed the missing piece in itself and began to roll. 　41　 it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to 　42　 　the flowers or talk to the worms. When it realized how 　43　 　the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, 　44　 　its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.

The lesson of the story, I 　45　 , was that in some strange 　46　 　we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is 　47　 　a poor man. He will never know what it feels like to desire, to hope, to nourish (滋养)his 　48　 　with the dream of something 　49　 .

When we accept that 　50 　is part of human being, and when we can continue rolling 　51　 　life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only 　52　 　to.

If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, 　53　 　enough to share in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know 　54　 　is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that 　55　 　living creature will ever know.
