     Nancy and her family moved into a new house with a big garden.She didn't have many friends in her new
neighborhood,so after she sent her husband and children to work and school,she spent a lot of time in the
garden.She loved the flowers,shrubs (灌木) and trees.
     One day,when Nancy was expecting some special visitors,she took extra care of the garden.She pulled
the weeds,trimmed (修剪) the shrubs,cut the grass,and carefully cleaned all the dry autumn leaves.As she
was working,an old woman was watching her with interest over the fence.Nancy had met this woman several
times in the streets.She seemed to be friendly to everybody.
     When Nancy had finished,she stood back to admire her work."Isn't it beautiful?" she called out to the old
woman."Yes," replied the old woman,"but there is something missing.May I come in?I'll put it right for you." 
     Nancy opened the gate for her and let her in.slowly,the old woman walked to the tree near the center of
the garden,held it by the trunk,and shook it.Leaves showered down all over the garden."Now," said the old
woman,"isn't it much better?"
     Nancy looked at her garden for a while and said,"Strange.The leaves make the garden look more beautiful?" 
     The old woman smiled and said,"When you are as old as me,you'll understand life can't be perfect.The
fallen leaves are part of nature's beauty."
