　　Once an Arab was traveling in the desert．When the sun went down in the west, he stopped and 　　1　　 his tent then, made a fire and have a 　　2　　 meal．When night fell, he 　　3　　 down to sleep．

　　He had 　　4　　 fallen asleep when he felt a soft 　　5　　 on his elbow(手肘)．He woke up to find that his camel had put his head inside the tent．The camel said：“Would you please let me keep my head in the tent to get warm? It is so cold outside．I will not take up too much 　　6　　．”

　　The Arab was a 　　7　　 man, “All right, do as you 　　8　　．” he said．Then he turned on his 　　9　　 and went back to sleep．

　　It wasn't long 　　10　　 he felt a push on his shoulder．It was the camel again．“Dear master,” the camel said, “my head is quite warm now, but my neck is still cold．Do you mind 　　11　　 I keep it inside the tent, too?”

　　“　　12　　．” the man said．But this time he felt a bit 　　13　　, as camel had such a long neck．

　　No sooner had he shut his eyes 　　14　　 he got a harder push in his side．This time the camel said, “will you please allow me to bring my front legs inside and warm then a little?”

　　The Arab 　　15　　 over to one side of the tent．He made 　　16　　 as small as he could．It was not 　　17　　 comfortable, and sleep was now out of 　　18　　．Soon after that the camel gave his a rough push and said, “The tent is too small for the two of us．　　19　　, my two hind legs are still left in the cold．It is only 　　20　　 that you should leave the tent wholly to me．” And with that, the camel kicked the poor man out．

　　James was a curious young man．Everywhere he went, he liked to observe things and to 　　1　　 people－what they did, what they said and what they wore．Subconsciously, he was making quick 　　2　　 all the time．He couldn’t really 　　3　　 it; it just happened．

　　For example, he once saw a man whose body was 　　4　　 with tattoos(纹身)．That man was strong and walked proudly．James imagined his 　　5　　 people up, sometimes with sticks and sometimes with his hands, speaking 　　6　　 words each time he opened his mouth．A troublemaker, perhaps, James 　　7　　 to himself．

　　Sometimes James felt 　　8　　 for judging others this way, but that feeling was 　　9　　 and never really lasted．

　　Then, one day, he saw a woman seated alone in a café．The woman was 　　10　　, quite fat, and although she was not 　　11　　, James could tell she was a short lady．　　12　　, James glanced across at her, looking at her from top to bottom．As his eyes reached her 　　13　　, he got a shock．

　　There she was, on her left foot, wearing a platform shoe that was at least 3 inches high．　　14　　 could such a little middle-aged lady who was average-looking at best be so vain as to wear high platforms? Look beautiful? In that short moment of time, 　　15　　 thoughts flowed through James’ mind．

　　A second later, James’ eyes naturally moved across to the lady’s right foot．And there, he got an even bigger 　　16　　－It was a flat shoe．She was not vain; she had a birth defect(缺陷)－uneven length of her legs．If anything, she deserved 　　17　　 and understanding, certainly not blame, not even mental ones．

　　James was 　　18　　 with guilt．It was a(n)　　19　　 lesson he learned about not 　　20　　 conclusions, about not judging people, especially so quickly．
