There was once a boy who was very rich and clever but
nothing could make him feel happy. He had almost everything a boy could ever
want, so he was only _36_ in the most rare things. One day his parents
bought him a very strange _37_. When the boy went to see his reflection
(映像) in it, he looked very_38_. He
tried smiling, _39_ his reflection continued with its sad expression.
_40_, the boy went off to buy sweets and lots
of toys. He came home as happy as he could be, but he _41_ looked sad in
that mirror.
“What a(n) _42_ mirror! It’s the first time
I’ve seen a mirror that didn’t _43_ properly!”
That afternoon he went out to buy some toys and on his
way he saw a little girl who was _44_. The boy went over to see what had
__45_ to her. The little girl said that she couldn’t find her parents.
Together the two children set off _46_ them. As the little girl wouldn’t
stop crying, the boy spent all of his money buying her sweets to _47_
her up. After much walking, they _48_ her parents who were looking for
her, very worried.
Then the boy said _49_ to the family. When
seeing the time, he _50_ to head for home, without toys and without _51_.
In his room, to his great surprise, he found a(n) _52_ face in the
mirror. And so he understood the _53_ of that mirror. The mirror could
only reflect the _54_ feelings of its owner. He felt really happy at
having _55_ that little girl.
