In a small village there was a postman. When he was 20 years old, he started sending all kinds of happy or sad stories to the villagers’ homes 50 kilometers away day after day. Twenty years flew by, and many changes took place, but there were still no trees along the road, only flying dust.
“How long shall I go along this dusty road?”
As soon as he thought he has to spend his life riding the bike on the road with no flowers or trees, he felt very sad.
One day when he finished sending the letters and was ready to return, he passed by a flower shop. “Right, that’s it!” He walked into the shop, bought some wild flower seeds(种子), and the next day he began to drop these seeds along the road. After one day, two days, one month, two months… he always kept dropping the wild flower seeds.
After long, a lot of little flowers came out along the road, blooming(开花)in all seasons. For the villagers, the flowers and the sweet smell were more pleasant than any letters the postman sent in all his life.
On the road without dust but full of flowers, the postman rode his bike happily. He never felt lonely or anxious any more.

阅读快车系列答案Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(缝纫)or 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, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when 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 visible(可见的). Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评)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(缺点)? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(评判)someone, I asked 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 may see the world about me more clearly.
