The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the long branches of an old willow tree. 31 at life, I have a good reason to frown, for the world was intent on 32 me down. And if that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath 33 me, all tired from play. He stood 34  in front of me with his head tilted down and said with great excitement, 'Look what I found!' In his hand was a   35 . What a pitiful sight, its petals were all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I 36  a small smile and then looked away. But i nstead of 37 , he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and 38 loudly with certainty, 'It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too.

How did he 46 my self-indulged plight(困境)? Perhaps he'd been 47 with true sight from his heart by God. Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. For all of those times I myself had been blind. I decided to see beauty, and 48 every second that belongs to mine. 49 I held that dead flower up to my nose and breathed in the 50 of a beautiful rose , I smiled as that young boy.
