Not long ago,my daughter’s leather shoes were cut by a knife. She burst into tears. I took the shoes to a shoemaker to get them repaired.
The master looked at them and said to me,“If you
trust
me,I will add more cuts in the form of a special style and reuse.”
I didn’t quite know why,but I decided to
leave
the shoes.
Two days later,I went there to get the shoes. I found there were indeed five or six
cuts
on each shoe,but all the openings were covered by soft red leather sewed(缝补)with thick thread(线). The shoes looked more special and interesting. I couldn’t help
praising
the master for his work.
Another time,my sister’s blouse had a large opening on the back. My wife took it over and checked
carefully
,and then said,“Let me take it home and repair it.”
Three days went past,and I was
surprised
to see it again:All the openings were sewed up by thin and
white
thread and they looked like the ice crystal(晶体)on winter’s branches(树枝). She even made a lovely snowman.
“I learned from the master. Patches(补丁)can be designed to look
perfect
,” said my wife.
Her words taught me even more:Perfection is
impossible
to achieve in everything;patches are unavoidable(不可避免的),so is human’s life.
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.

### 四、完形填空
不久前,我女儿的皮鞋被刀划破了。她突然哭了起来。我把鞋子拿到鞋匠那里去修理。
鞋匠师傅看了看鞋子,对我说:“如果你信任我,我会以一种特殊的风格多划几刀,然后重新利用(这些刀痕)。”
我不太明白为什么,但我还是决定把鞋子留下。
两天后,我去那里取鞋。我发现每只鞋上确实有五六道刀痕,但所有的开口都被用粗线缝上的柔软的红色皮革覆盖着。这双鞋看起来更特别、更有趣了。我忍不住称赞这位师傅的手艺。
还有一次,我妹妹的衬衫后背有一个大的破洞。我妻子拿过衬衫,仔细地检查了一下,然后说:“让我把它带回家修理吧。”
三天过去了,我再次看到它时感到很惊讶:所有的破洞都用细细的白色线缝好了,它们看起来就像冬天树枝上的冰晶。她甚至还做了一个可爱的雪人。
“我从那位师傅那里学到了(经验)。补丁可以被设计得看起来很完美,”我妻子说。
她的话教会了我更多:在所有事情上都做到完美是不可能的;补丁是不可避免的,人的生活也是如此。既然你无法改变这一点,你所能做的、也必须做的就是用补丁覆盖伤口,并尽力在伤口上开出一朵最美丽的花,而这就是生活教给我们的。
