Not long ago, my daughter’s favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young apprentice (學徒) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is 1 I can do but change the uppers (鞋幫).”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 2 me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for special style.”
I didn’t fully understand him, 3 I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 4 on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewed (縫) with thick thread (線). The shoes looked more 5 and interesting than ever. I couldn’t stop praising the master for his skill.

Her words taught me even more. Perfection (完美) is 13 to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable (不可避免的); so is human’s life, which will appear in the form of wound, 14 or disease. Since you can’t change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is what life teaches us. Once you 15 it, you can enjoy your life better.

It was a cold day in 2017, and I didn’t want to drive up the mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. 1 , she really expected me to see something at the top of the mountain. So here I was, unwillingly making the journey through 2 .

6 ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her worriedly. “I thought you said three minutes.” She smiled, “This is a different road.”

Then we turned around a corner and stopped in amazement. Hundreds of daffodils (水仙花) in different 9 —from white to lemon to red—shone like a carpet before us. At the center were purple hyacinths (風信子). Here and there were coral-colored tulips (郁金香).
A series of questions filled my mind. 10 created such beauty How When
As we went to the house in the center of the field, we saw a sign that read, “ 11 to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”
The first answer was “One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.”
The second “One at a Time.” The third “ 12 in 1978.”
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could hardly speak.
“ 13 changed the world,” I finally said, “One flower at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, 14 just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it. ”
“Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a goal and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have 15 ”
Carolyn looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “Better yet, start today. ”

It stayed there and was so cute. For a moment, I thought I might be able to touch her.
Later, I returned to the same place again and again, and 4 , I met it. This time, I was not so 5 and called out to it. Of course, It ran away quickly. It made me expect to meet it a 6 time, and then, I might take it home to tame (馴服), making it my friend. So I tried to find it during the following 7 . But I never saw it again until the following spring.
She had got her young babies, but still kept moving because of my appearance (出現). I had no choice but to watch her family from a 8 place.

Several times later, I tried to get closer and she didn’t 10 . What surprised me further was that she would 11 directly walk to me and lie beside me. I caught her softly and took her home happily in my arms. However, she ran away later that day. I rushed to the hole and 12 to take her back again. I was deeply touched by what I saw. She was around with her babies, who was lying 13 her peacefully, with eyes half-opening, under bright sunshine.
It was at this moment that I realized 14 the fox ran away and what I should do. My selfish thought to tame her had completely disappeared. 15 , I just brought some food and stayed with them at times. I got to know that we should give respect and freedom if we really like something.

Not long ago, my daughter’s favourite leather shoes were cut by a knife. She cried. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The young apprentice (學徒) took a look at the cuts quickly and said, “There is 1 I can do but change the uppers (鞋幫).”
His master looked at them and said to me, “If you 2 me, I will add more cuts to both of the shoes on purpose for special style.”
I didn’t fully understand him, 3 I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later, I went there to get the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six 4 on each shoe, but all of them were covered by soft red leather sewed (縫) with thick thread (線). The shoes looked more 5 and interesting than ever. I couldn’t stop praising the master for his skill.
Another time, my wife’s 6 had an opening on the back. My wife checked it carefully, and then said, “I’ll 7 it myself.”
Three days went past, and I was very 8 to see it again: the 9 was sewed up by thin and white thread and it looked like the ice crystal (晶體). She 10 made a lovely snowman and a wooden house on the blouse. I said with praise, “It’s just as beautiful as a piece of 11 .”
“I learned from the master. Patches (補丁) can be 12 to look perfect.” replied my wife.
Her words taught me even more. Perfection (完美) is 13 to achieve in everything; patches are unavoidable (不可避免的); so is human’s life, which will appear in the form of wound, 14 or disease. Since you can’t change that, all you can do and have to do is to cover the wound by patches and try your best to make a most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is what life teaches us. Once you 15 it, you can enjoy your life better.

So here I was, unwillingly making the journey through 2 . When I saw how thick it was near the top, I’d gone too far to turn back. “ 3 could be worse than this,” I thought as I moved along the dangerous road.
“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m going back as soon as the fog lifts,” I 4 when I arrived.
“But mom, I want you to see something at the top,” Carolyn said. “Could we at least do that ”
“How 5 is it ” I asked. “About three minutes,” she said. “I’ll drive—I’m used to it.”
6 ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her worriedly. “I thought you said three minutes.” She smiled, “This is a different road.”
Finally, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was 7 with old pine needles (松針). Gradually, the peace and silence began to 8 my mind.
Then we turned around a corner and stopped in amazement. Hundreds of daffodils (水仙花) in different 9 —from white to lemon to red—shone like a carpet before us. At the center were purple hyacinths (風信子). Here and there were coral-colored tulips (郁金香).
A series of questions filled my mind. 10 created such beauty How When
As we went to the house in the center of the field, we saw a sign that read, “ 11 to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”
The first answer was “One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.”
The second “One at a Time.” The third “ 12 in 1978.”
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could hardly speak.
“ 13 changed the world,” I finally said, “One flower at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, 14 just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it. ”
“Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a goal and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have 15 ”
Carolyn looked at me, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said, “Better yet, start today. ”
