It was a busy morning，about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80s came to the hospital .I heard him saying to the nurse that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

The nurse had him take a  36  in the waiting area,  37  him it would be at least 40Minutes  38  someone would be able to see him I saw him  39  his watch and decided， since I was  40  busy—my patient didn’t  41  at the appointed hour, I would examine his wound .While taking care of his wound．I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment

The gentleman said no and told me that he  42  to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his 43  .He told me that she had been   44   for a while and that she had a special disease. I asked if she would be    45   if he was a bit late. He replied that she   46   knew who he was，and that she had not been able to  47   him for five years now. I was   48   , and asked him，“And you  49   go every morning，even though she doesn’t know who you are?”

He smiled and said．“She doesn’t know me but I know who she is” I had to hold back    50   as he left.

Now I   51    that in marriages，true love is   52   of all that is. The happiest people don’t   53   have the best of everything；they just  54    the best of everything they have.   55   isn’t  about how to live through the storm，but how to dance in the rain.

Once upon a time, there were two very good friends who lived together in the shade of a rock. Strange as it may seem, one was a　    and one was a tiger. They had met when they were too　   to know the difference between lions and tigers. So they did not think their　   was at all unusual. Besides, it was a peaceful part of the mountains, possibly　    the influence of a gentle forest monk who lived nearby. He was a hermit, one who　    　far away from other people.　

For some unknown reason, one day the two friends got into a silly　    . The tiger said, “Everyone knows the cold　    when the moon wanes from full to new! ” The lion said, “Where did you hear such nonsense? Everyone knows the　    comes when the moon waxes from　    to full! ”

The argument got stronger and stronger. Neither could　     the other. They could not　     any conclusion to resolve the growing dispute. They　     started calling each other names!

The most important thing is to live without conflict, to remain　     . Unity is best by all means. ”

The lion and tiger thanked the wise hermit. They were happy to　     　be friends.
