Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, ”why, your heart is not as beautiful as mine. ”
The old man ’sheart was full of scars (伤疤 ).Some pieces of his heart were removed
and some pieces from other people were put in, but they didn ’tfit quite right. So there
were several jagged( 锯齿状的 )edges. In fact, there were still some holes in his heart
where the pieces were missing.
The young man laughed, ”Comparing yours with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a
mess. ”
“Yes, ”said the old man. ”But, every scar shows that Itook out apiece of my heart and
gave itto aperson, and often he gave me apiece of his heart in return. ”
“Why do you have some jagged edges in your heart? ”asked the young man.
“Because the shapes of the pieces weren ’tthe same. ”
“Then the holes? ”
“Sometimes Igave pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn ’tgiven back
apiece of his ,so … but Idon ’tcare. ”
“How come? ”
“They remind me of the love we shared. ”
The young man was deeply moved. He walked up to the old man, took apiece of his
heart out and gave itto the old man.
The old man placed itin his heart, then took apiece from his old scarred heart and
placed itin the wound( 伤口 )in the young man ’sheart. Itfitted, but not perfectly, as there
were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect any more but more beautiful than
ever.
How sad itmust be to go through life with awhole untouched heart!

A small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and ithas
been there for the past ten years or so.
Itall began because my husband Justin hated Christmas — oh, not the true meaning
of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of
choosing gifts — running around at the last minute to get atie for Uncle Harry and apair of
gloves for Grandma … ,spending money is nothing. Ifelt too tired to think of any special
gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way, Idecided one year not to buy the usual shirts,
sweaters, ties and so on. Ireached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration
came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤） at the junior level at the
school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team
sponsored (赞助 )by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out

shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys
were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, Iwas shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without
wearing helmets (头盔 )to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We
took every weight class.
Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “Iwish just one of them could have
won, ”he said. “They have alot potential (潜力 ),but losing like this could take the heart
out of them. ”Justin loved kids — all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league
football and baseball. That ’swhen the idea for his present came. That afternoon, Iwent to
alocal sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I
sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, Iplaced the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin
what Ihad done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about
Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our
Christmas.
66. Justin hated Christmas because _____.
