One
day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had
the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered．and they all admired his heart for
it was 41 . There
was not a scar in it. Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why, your heart
is not nearly as beautiful as 42 .”
The crowd and the young man looked
at the old man’s 43 . It was full of scars, it had places 44 pieces had been removed and
other pieces 45
in, but they didn’t fit quite right, and there were several 46 edges. In fact, in some places
there were deep gaps where whole pieces were missing.
The young man laughed. “ 47 your heart with mine, mine is
perfect and yours is a mess of scars.”
“Yes,” said the old man, “Yours 48 perfect but I would never
trade with you. You see, every 49 represents a person 50 I have given my love. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to
them, and often they 51 me a piece of their heart that fits into the 52 place in my heart. But because
the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges, which I cherish, because they
remind me of the love we 53 .
“Sometimes I have given pieces of
my heart 54 , and the other person hasn’t
returned a 55 of his or her heart to me.
These are the empty gaps-giving love is 56 a chance. Although
these gaps are painful, they 57 open, reminding me of the love I have for those people too, and I
hope someday they may return and fill the space I have been waiting. So now do
you see what true beauty is?’’
The young man walked up to the old
man, 58 his perfect heart, and tipped
a piece out. He 59 it to the old man.
The old man placed it in his
heart, then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound
in the young man’s heart. It 60 , but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart,
not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man’s
heart flowed into his.
They embraced and walked away side
by side.
