There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f 1. . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 2.  they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c 3.  in the shop, not expensive at all.

He went up and asked,“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost

But he s 6.  continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said,“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

You may think that master was s 7. , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things

Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it g 10.  and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
