阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not satisfied with life, I was upset. At this time, a young boy approached me. He stood right before me with his head tilting（倾斜）down, saying with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals（花瓣）all worn. That’s because there was not enough rain or light. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I forced a small smile and then turned away. But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with certainty. He said, “It surely smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it and it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower and replied, “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it midair without reason. It was then that I noticed for the first time the boy was blind.
I heard my voice shake and my eyes were full of tears as I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then walked off to play, unaware of the effect he had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Meanwhile, I felt confused about the reason why he tried to make me happy by showing the flower? Perhaps from his heart, he enjoyed the world with true sight.注意：
