He watered and fertilized (施肥) them.

One day a young man went by the garden. He looked at the beautiful flowers, imaging how happy he could be if he lived in such a beautiful place. Then, suddenly he found the old gardener was blind. He was very surprised at this and asked, “You can't see these flowers. Why do you take care of them every day？”

The old man smiled and said, “I can tell you four reasons. First, I have been a gardener since I was young, and I really like this job. Second, I can touch them though I can't see these flowers.

Third, I can smell the sweetness of them. As for the last one, that's you.”

“Me? But you don't know me，” said the young man.

“Yeah, it's true that I don't know you. But I know that flowers are angels (天使) that everyone knows. We can enjoy the happiness which these flowers have brought us.”

The blind man's work opened our eyes and pleased our hearts, which also made his life happier. It was just like Beethoven (贝多芬).
