15．"Dr．Papaderos，what is the meaning of life？"
The usual laughter followed，and people stirred to go．Dr．Papaderos held up his hands and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time，asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was．
"I will answer your question．"
Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket，he fished into a leather wallet and brought out a very small round mirror，about the size of a quarter．And what he said went like this："When I was a small child during the war，we were very poor and we lived in a remote village．One day，on the road，I found the broken pieces of a mirror．A German motorcycle had been broken in that place．
I tried to find all the pieces and put them together，but it was not possible，so I kept only the largest piece．This one．a(chǎn)nd，by scratching it on a stone，I made it round．I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine-n deep holes and crevices（裂縫）and dark closets．It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find．
I kept the little mirror，and，as I went about my growing up，I would take it out in spare time and continue the challenge of the game．As I became a man，I got to understand that this was not just a child's game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life．I came to understand that I was not the light or the source of light．But light-truth，understanding，knowledge-is there，and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it．
I am a fragment of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know．Nevertheless，with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world-into the black places in the hearts of men-and change some things in some people．Perhaps others may see and do likewise． This is what I am talking about．This is the meaning of my life．
