Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly.  It admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with grasses. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. It put the found piece into itself and began to roll. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. When it rolled so quickly, it realized how different the world seemed. Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The lesson of the story , I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything isn’t in some ways a whole man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to come true the dream of something better.

“I soon learned that’s how everything works in the US,” the old man later told a friend. “ 46  is a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want   47  you are willing(自愿的) to pay the price.

Many years ago, when I was working as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Lisa. The poor little girl had a very serious disease(疾病)and was dying. The doctor had done his best but no medicine really worked. The only chance to save her seemed to be a blood transfusion(输血)from her five-year-old brother. The little boy had the same disease before and had developed the antibodies(抗体)to fight the illness.
The doctor talked to the little boy about what they planned to do, and asked him if he would like to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate(迟疑) for a moment. Then he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, I’ll do it if it can save Lisa."
As the transfusion was going on, the little boy lay quietly in bed next to his sister. He looked at her and smiled all the time. When everything was done and the color returned to his sister’s face, his smile disappeared and he looked a little afraid. He looked up at the doctor and asked, "Will I start to die now?"
