I speak Spanish, because I was born in Spain. But then at primary school I had to learn Russian, and at
high school, I was taught how to speak German. But I always wanted to speak English.
At last I came to America. Everywhere there was English! But even if I heard and felt its presence, it
was hard for me to understand it and express myself in it. The few lessons of English that I had taken in
Spain gave me only a chance to introduce myself, and I didn’t even know how to buy things and ask
directions.
To talk to somebody, I went to a high school to take a course in English for foreigners.
Disappointingly, it took almost an hour to get through the process of introducing ourselves. Everyone had
to learn something that I had already known from my books – the English alphabet (字母表) and numbers.
I thought it was a waste of time, so I quit.
After a month, I tried again, but this time at college. After 15 minutes of introducing ourselves, a
teacher gave us a lecture about the history of English. Then we were told that it was very important to know
English in an English-speaking country. It took three hours for the teacher to tell us this. Again, I quit.
But I didn’t stop looking for something or someone that would help me to achieve my goal, and I
found a tutor from Literacy Volunteers of America. But I still wasn’t happy with the classes. And when it
was my turn to give a speech, I was happy to use all the long, complicated words that I had learned from
one of my English books. When I had finished, my tutor said “Well, I think I have to learn English before
coming to teach you!” This time, the tutor quit!

I sat down to read beneath an old maple tree in the park，disillusioned with life，for the world was
getting me down.And if that wasn't enough to ruin my day，a young boy approached me，out of breath
from running.He stood right before me with his head lowered down and said with great excitement，“See
what I found！”
In his hand was a flower.What a pitiful sight! Its petals (花瓣) were all worn.Wanting him to take his
dead flower and go off to play，I faked a small smile and then turned away.But instead of leaving，he sat
by my side，placed the flower to his nose and said with surprise，“It sure smells pretty and it's
beautiful，too.That's why I picked it; here，it's for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead.But I knew I must take it，or he might never leave.So I
reached for the flower and replied，“Just what I need.”But instead of him placing the flower in my
hand，he held it in midair without reason.It was then that I noticed for the very first time that the boy was
blind.
I heard my voice tremble as I thanked him for picking the very best one.“You're welcome，” he
smiled，and then ran off to play.I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a selfpitying woman
beneath an old maple tree perhaps from his heart，he'd been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of a blind child，at last I could see the problem was not with the world；the
problem was me.And I determined to see beauty and appreciate every second that's mine.I held that flower
up to my nose and smiled as that boy was about to change the life of an old man with another flower in his
hand.
