Not long before, my daughter's shoes were scratched (划破) with a knife. She burst into tears, so I took them to the shoemaker's.
The young apprentice (学徒) glanced at the 1 and said, “Nothing I can do except 2 the upper.” His master looked at them and said, “If you 3 me, I will add more scratches on both the shoes.”
I was 4 and asked why. He explained, “As if the openings were made 5 for a special style.” I didn't quite understand him,6 I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later I dropped by from work to 7 the shoes, only to find more scratches on each shoe, all the openings were patched (缝补) by soft red leather, the stitches (脚针) were twisted with the appearance looking more 8 and interesting than ever. I couldn't help praising the master's9.
Another time, my sister's blouse was torn, leaving a large opening. My wife checked it 10 and then said, “Let me take it home and 11 it.
Three days later, seeing it again, I was greatly12 at the torn part. It took on a look of a snowman made of flowery rags. I sighed with 13 “It's amazing!”

Just sew the wound by patches and provide a most beautiful flower on it, that is the20 of life.
