Terry was a middle-aged businessman. He was
36 in career and often complained that he had been fooled (欺骗) by others. One day he told his wife he was
37 disappointed with the city that he had to
38. So his family moved to another city. It was Saturday
39. When Terry and his wife were busily putting their things in their new home, the lights suddenly
40 and they were forced to stop work. Terry was sorry to have
41 to bring along some candles. Just then he heard light
42 on his door.
“Who is it?” he wondered. Terry knew
43 else in the new city, and this was the moment he especially hated to be
44. He opened the door impatiently (不耐烦地). At the door was a little
45, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have
46? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Terry angrily. He shut the door
47.
After a while the door was knocked again. He opened it and
48 the same little girl outside. But this time she was
49 two candles radiating (放光) red light. She said, “My grandma told me the
50 neighbor downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to
51 you these.”
At that moment Terry suddenly realized what
52 his failure in life. It was his indifference (冷漠) and
53 to other people. The person who had fooled him in life was actually nobody else
54 himself, for his eyes had been covered by his
55 mind.
