A farmer had a friend and his friend was famous for growing wonderful apple trees．

One day, the farmer's friend gave him a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it．

The farmer loved the gift. But when he got home, he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the apples. If he planted the tree in one of his fields, his neighbors would come at night and steal the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the apples. Finally he planted the tree in his wood．Nobody could see it, but there was no sunlight in his wood, the tree soon died．

Later, the friend asked the farmer why he planted the tree in such a poor place. " What's the difference？"the farmer said angrily. "If I plant the tree near the road, strangers may steal the apples．If I plant the tree in one of my fields, my neighbors may come at night and steal the apples． If I plant the tree near my house, my children may take the apples．"

"Yes," said the friend， "but at least someone could enjoy the apples. Now no one could eat the apples, and the apple tree died!"

One afternoon，I went into {#blank#}1{#/blank#} art museum while waiting for my husband. I hoped to enjoy the works of art {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (quiet). 

A young couple walked in front of me and talked {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the paintings between themselves all the time. The lady did almost all the talking，but the man kept listening to her. I thought the man was very patient {#blank#}4{#/blank#} nobody would like to be bothered(打扰) while enjoying the paintings. 

I met them several {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(time) as I moved through the different rooms of the art museum. Each time I heard her talking，I moved away quickly. 

I {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(pay)for some gifts at the museum shop when the couple walked slowly to the exit(出口). Before they left，the man took out a cane(拐杖). Then he tapped(轻敲) his way. 

"He is a brave man，" the worker of the shop said. He decided not {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (change) his life after his eyes got hurt. Though he is blind now，he never gives {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. He and his wife come here whenever there is a new art show. "

"But what can he get out of the art？ He can't see！" I asked. "You are wrong. He sees a lot， {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (much) than you and I do. " The worker said，"His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his mind. "

I fell {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (silence). Then I realised that I learnt something about patience, courage and love that day.
