Not long ago, my daughter’s shoes were scratched（划损）by someone’s knife. I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired. He looked at them and said to me,“If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes.”
I was confused and asked why.
He explained,“ As if the openings were made on purpose for a special style”.
I didn’t fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes there.
Two days later I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six more scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched（补）by red soft leather（皮革）. They looked particular. I couldn’t help making compliments on the shoemaker’s skills.
Another time, there was a large opening on the back of my wife’s sister’s white coat. My wife took it over, checked carefully, and then said,“ Let me take it home and mend it.”
Three days later, seeing the coat again, I was shocked: the big opening was taken place by a beautiful flower and it took on a wonderful look. I gave my praise,“ It’s just as beautiful as a piece of art!”
Perfection is impossible to achieve in everything, and so is human’s life., which will appear in the form of injury, disability or disease. Since you can’t change a wound（伤口）,you should not expect people’s pity by exposing the wound, which reveals nothing meaningful. All you can do and have to do is to make up the wound by patches and try your best to grow the most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is the meaning of life.

ABCCD
An Englishman was once traveling in Italy. One day he went into a small restaurant to order dinner. He understood very little Italian and couldn’t read the menu(菜单). He knew the word for eggs, and so he ordered eggs. Italy is famous, however, for its mushrooms(蘑菇) with eggs. But he did not know the word for mushrooms. The waiter did not speak a word of English and could not help him. At last, the man took out his pocket a pencil and a piece of paper and very carefully drew a picture of a mushroom on the piece of paper. The waiter looked at the picture of the mushroom for a long while. He did not understand very well, but at last he left. He was gone a long time. After about a half hour he returned. But instead of an order of mushroom, he brought the man a large black umbrella.
