There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. In fact, she 41 nobody except her boyfriend, for he was always 42 to help her. She used to tell her boyfriend, “If I could see the 43 , I would marry you. ”

　 One day, someone donated a pair of 44 to her. When the bandages（繃帶）came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend, for the 45 time. He asked her, “Now that you can see the world, will you 46 me?” The girl looked at her boyfriend and was greatly surprised to see that he was 　47 . She had never expected that．She would not like to be with a blind husband for the rest of her life，so she 48 to marry him．

Her boyfriend left in tears and a few days later wrote a 49 to her，saying，“My dear，take good care of your eyes． 50 they are yours. They were mine.”

　 This is how the human brain（人腦）often works when our status（地位）changes．Only a very few remember what 51 was like before．And we often ask for more than we need．Life is a gift. Today, before you complain about the 52 of your food，think of someone who has nothing to 53 . Before you complain about life，think of someone who went to heaven（天堂）too early. Before you complain about your old 54 , think of the people who are living in the streets．And when you are tired and complain about your job, think of those who have no jobs．So 55 what you have and don’t forget your past.

My mum only had one eye. She cooked for students and teachers to   41   the family when I was young.

One day my mum came to 　42  hello to me in primary school. I was so embarrassed（尷尬的） that I threw her a hateful  43 and ran out.

The next day at school, one of my classmates said, “Your mum only has one eye!” and  44  at me.

I hated my mum and decided to leave her, so I studied very hard. Later I got a chance to go abroad to study and I left my mother.　45　graduation I worked, bought a house and got   46  there. Then I had kids of my own. I was happy with my wife and my kids. But one day someone knocked at my door. It was my 47  !When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I  48  at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” And to this, my mum 　49  answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have got the wrong  50  ,”and she disappeared.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion（聚會） came to my house. So I told a 　51  to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old house.

My neighbours said that she   52   . I did not have a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

My dearest son,

I am thinking  53 you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your 　54　 .

I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was still an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see…when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you grow up with one eye. So I gave you   55  .

  …  With all my love to you!

Your mother
