一天,一个年轻人站在镇中心,声称自己拥有镇上最漂亮的心。一大群人聚集在他的周围,都很羡慕他,因为他那颗心没有任何伤痕或瑕疵,近乎完美。
突然,一位长者出现在他面前,对他说:“你的心还没有我的漂亮。”听到这话,围观的人和年轻人都向他的心看去。那颗心跳动得非常有力,但满是疤痕。有些部分被取掉,又有另外的补充进来,但由于结合得不好,边缘部分参差不齐。事实上,那颗心上甚至有些地方被大块地取掉,留下一条条深深的沟壑。
人们瞪大了眼睛看着,心里喃咕一他怎么敢说自己的心更漂亮呢?年轻人看了看年长者的心,大笑起来。“你一定是在开玩笑吧,"他说,“和我完美的心比较起来,你的只不过是一堆疤而已。”
“没错,"长者回应说,“你的心看起来完美无瑕,但我绝不会和你交换。你看,我心上的每一个疤痕都代表了我曾经爱过的一个人——我从我的心上撕下来一块送给他们,他们又从自己的心上撕下来一块填补到我的伤处。由于两片大小不太一致,我的心上一些地方参差不齐。但是我珍惜这些地方,因为他们让我记起我们曾经分享的爱。有时候,我从自己心上撕下一片送给了别人,而对方没有回赠我,于是就留下了那些沟壑。尽管这些沟壑很疼,他们始终敞开着,提醒着我对这些人的爱。我希望有一天他们会回来,将这些地方填补起来。你现在明白什么是真正的美了吗?”
年轻人静静地站在那儿,眼泪顺着脸颊流了下来。
他走到长者面前,把手伸向自己那年轻漂亮的心,撕了一片下来,然后用颤抖的手将它交给了长者。
长者接过他的赠与,将它放到自己的心上,接着从自己那苍老的伤痕累累的心上撕下一块填补到了年轻人的伤处。填补得并不完美。年轻人看着自己的心,那颗心不再完美,但从未如此漂亮过。因为爱已经从长者的心里注入了他的心里。他们拥抱了一下,肩并肩走了。

The Most Beautiful Heart
One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole town. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it.
Suddenly, an old man appeared and said, “Why, your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.” The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s heart. It was beating strongly, but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in, but they didn’t fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. In fact, in some places there were deep gouges where whole pieces were missing.
The people stared—how could he say his heart is more beautiful? They thought. The young man looked at the old man’s heart and laughed. “You must be joking,” he said. “Compare your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.”
“Yes,” said the old man, “yours is perfect looking but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love—I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them, and often they give me a piece of their heart which
rough edges, which I cherish,because they remind me of the love we shared. Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away, and the other person hasn’t returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too, and I hope someday they may return and fill the space in my heart. So now do you see what true beauty is?”
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart,and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man with trembling hands.
The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man's heart. It fit, but not perfectly. The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since love from the old man's heart flowed into his. They embraced and walked away side by side.
