The Other Side of the Wall

    There was a young woman who took great pride in her flower garden. She was raised by her grandmother who taught her to love and take care of flowers. So her flower garden was the 1.

    One day, while she was looking through a flower list she often 2 the flowers from, suddenly a picture of a plant caught her eyes. She had never 3 blooms(花) on a flower like that before. “I have to have it,” she said to 4, and she ordered it at once.

When it arrived, she already had a 5 prepared to plant it. She planted it at the back of her yard. It grew well, with beautiful green leaves all over it, 6 there were no blooms. Day after day she continued to water it, feed it, and she even talked to it, trying to make it bloom. However, it was 7.

    One morning, a few weeks later, when standing before the vine(藤), she felt very 8 that her plant had not bloomed. She was giving thought to  9 it down and planting something else in its place.

    It was at this point that her neighbor, whose 10 joined hers, called over to her. “Thank you so much! You can't imagine how much I have 11 the blooms of that vine you planted.” The young woman walked 12 the gate into her neighbor's yard, and she saw that on the other side of the wall the vine was 13 with blooms.

    They were indeed the most beautiful blooms she had 14 seen. The vine had grown through the crevices (缝隙) and it had not flowered on 15 side of the wall, but it had flowered on the other side.

    Sometimes one may not see the good result of his effort (努力), but that doesn't mean it isn't successful.

    One day he leaves his office at twelve. He goes to eat something. As soon as he goes out of the gate, he meets an old friend of 2. Of course they are very 3. His friend asks him for dinner. In a restaurant they 4 a lot. Then his friend says，“Perhaps you're drunk now. Let me help you to your 5.”

  “No, no,” says Mr. Jenkins. “My office is only two minutes' walk. I 6 go there myself.”

    When his friend leaves, he feels 7 to stand. He is afraid to be late and stops a taxi. When he gets on, the driver asks, “Where are you going, sir?”

  “8 the Park Street.”

  “Oh! 9, sir,” the driver says in a hurry. “It's just the Park Street.”

  “OK!” Mr. Jenkins says and gets off. He brings out some money and throws it to the driver. He 10, “But don't drive so fast next time!”
