The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree. Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down..公园里枝叶繁茂的大柳树下长椅上空空无人，我坐下来，静静的读书。对生活不抱任何幻想让我眉头深锁，仿佛整个世界都在离我慢慢远去…… And if that werent enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted down And said with great excitement, Look what I found!然而祸不单行，一个气喘吁吁的小男孩跑到了我跟前，可能是玩的太累了。他正好站在我前面，仰起头看着我说：“看，我找到什么了！” In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, With its petals all worn - not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then shifted away.他手里捏着一朵花，惨淡无光，花瓣可能因为缺水要么缺少光照全蔫了。我勉强冲他一笑，然后把头扭向一边，想让他带着花一起离开，自己去玩。 But instead of retreating he sat down next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, It sure smells pretty and its beautiful, too. Thats why I picked it; here, its for you.可是他没有走，却坐在了我旁边，把花放在鼻子前面闻了闻，惊喜的说：“花又香又漂亮！所以我把它采来送给你。” The weed before me was dying or dead. Not vibrant of colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, Just what I need.我面前的杂草都干枯了，没有了五颜六色。我知道，如果我不要这朵花的话，他是不会走的。我接了花，跟他说：“正是我想要的”。 But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, He held it mid-air without reason or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that weed-toting boy could not see: he was blind. I heard my voice quiver, tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one. Youre welcome, he smiled, and then ran off to play, Unaware of the impact hed had on my day. I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged plight? Perhaps from his heart, hed been blessed with true sight. 但他没把花递到我手里，却无意识的举到了空中，我才注意到，他是个盲童。 当我跟他说谢谢他送我这么漂亮的花时，我的声音颤抖了，眼泪流下来。他笑着说：“不客气”。然后
