I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired. He looked at them and said to me, If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes. I was surprised and asked why. He explained, As if the openings were made on purpose for a special style. I didn39。t fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes there. Two days later I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six more scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched(打補?。゜y red soft leather(皮革). They looked special. I couldn39。t help making pliments(贊揚) on the shoemaker39。s skills. Another time, there was a large opening on the back of my wife39。s sister39。s white coat. My wife took it over, checked carefully, and then said, Let me take it home and mend it. Three days later, seeing the coat again, I was shocked: the big opening was taken place by a beautiful flower and it took on a wonderful look. I gave my praise, It39。s just as beautiful as a piece of art! Perfection is impossible to achieve in everything, and so is human39。s life, which will appear in the form of injury, disability or disease. Since you can39。t change a wound(傷口), you should not expect people39。s pity by exposingthe wound, which shows nothing meaningful. All you can do and have to do is to make up the wound by patches and try your best to grow the most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is the meaning of life.(1)How did the writer feel about the shoemaker39。s work?
