Isn’t it amazing how one person, sharing one idea, at the right time and place can change the course of your life’s history? This is what happened in my 36 .

When I was 14, I left school and was journeying first in California and then in Hawaii. 37 reaching El Paso, I met an old man, a beggar, on the street corner, who 38 me and asked if I was 39 away from home because I looked so　 40　 .

After 41 for a few minutes, the 42 beggar told me to follow him. He told me that he had something good to 43 with me. We walked a couple of blocks until we came to a library, where the beggar first　 44 me to a table and asked me to wait for a moment 45 he looked for something special among the shelves. A few moments later, he 46 with a couple of old books under his arms, and then started with a few statements (说法)that were very 47 and that changed my life. He said, “There are two things that I want to 48 you.”

“Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can 49 you. Well, young man, I’ve got a little 50 for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. But a year ago, my wife 51 away. I realized there were certain things I had not yet 52 in life, one of which is to live like a beggar on the streets. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover.”

“Number two is to learn how to 53 , my boy. For there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom(知识, 智慧).” At that moment, he showed me the 54 of Plato and Aristotle —immortal(不朽的) classics from ancient times.

The beggar then led me back on the streets near where we 55 met. His parting request was for me never to forget what he taught me.
