A cactus(仙人掌)stood all alone in the desert, wondering why it was stuck in the middle of nowhere.
“I do nothing but 36 here all day,” it sighed.“What 37 am I ? I'm the ugliest plant in the desert. I can't 38 any passing traveler with shade or juicy fruit.I don't see what I can do 39 .”All it did was stand in the sun day after day, growing taller and fatter.Its spines grew longer and its leaves tougher…It truly was strange-looking.
“I wish I could do something useful,” it 40 .By day, eagles circled high overhead.“What can I do with my life?” the cactus called.Whether they heard or not, the eagles sailed 41 .
At night, the moon floated into the sky and 42 its pale light on the desert.“What good can I do with my life?” the cactus called.The moon only stared coldly as it went on its way.
A lizard(蜥蜴)moved by, 43 a little trail (痕迹)in the sand with its tail.“What worthy thing can I do?” the cactus called.“You?” the lizard laughed, pausing a moment.“Worthy deed? Why, you can't do 44 ! You do nothing but get uglier every day.”
And so it 45 year after year.At last the cactus grew 46 , and it knew its time was short.“Oh, God” it cried out, “I've 47 so long, and I've tried so hard. 48 me if I've failed to find something worthy to do.I am afraid that now it is too 49 .”
But just then the cactus felt a strange stirring and unfolding.A flow of joy drove away all 50 . At its very tip, like a sudden crown, a beautiful 51 suddenly opened. 52 had the desert known such a blossom. Its fragrance went through the air far and wide and brought 53 to all passing by.
In the desert, a voice was sounding.“You have waited long, and the heart which seeks(寻求)to do good will always bring something 54 to the world, something for which all can be happy ---- 55 for only a moment.”
