In a small
house outside London lives an old man. People often see him look his
flowers in his garden all the time.
One day, a
young painter (go) by the old man's house. He looked at the nice
garden and the special room, picturing how happy he would be if he lived in
such a (beauty) place. Suddenly he found the old gardener
(terrible) blind. Shocked, he walked to the old man and asked, "Why
are you taking care of the flowers every day which you can't see in fact?"
The old man smiled, "I can tell you four reasons. First, I was a gardener
when I was young and I really love this job. Second, although I can't see these
flowers, I can touch them. Third, I can smell the (sweet) of them.
As to the last, it's you."
"Me?
But you don't know me," answered the painter, still puzzled.
"Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. I know flowers
are gifts which everyone loves. And the beauty of my garden will get many
people into a good mood," answered the old man.
The words
of the gardener warmed the painter with (please). He looked after
the flowers (make) others enjoy the warm sunshine in spring. He can't
see the beautiful flowers he planted, just like Beethoven, who can't hear his
wonderful music
The old
man is alone but not lonely. All of his flowers are his friends and neighbours.
They (grow) in his heart.
