　　A young man, a student in one of our universities, was one day taking a walk with a professor, who was commonly called the students' friend, for his kindness to those who waited on his instructions．

　　As they went along, they saw 　　1　　 in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had 　　2　　 finished his day's work．

　　The student 　　3　　 the professor, saying, “Let's play the man a(n)　　4　　：we will hide his shoes, and we stay behind those bushes, and wait to see his 　　5　　 when he cannot find them．”

　　The student stood there deeply affected, his eyes filled with tears．“Now,” said the professor, “Are you not much better pleased than if you had played your 　　19　　 trick?” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget．I feel now the 　　20　　 of those words, which I never understood before：‘It is more blessed to give than to receive．'”
