The following story took place long ago in Israel．One day when government officials were rebuilding barn(粮仓)，they found a mouse hole in a corner and used      to force the mice inside the hole to come out．A while later they indeed saw mice running out，one after another．

    Then，everyone thought that all the mice had       ．But just as they were about to clean up，they saw two mice squeezing out at the      of the hole．After some       the mice finally got out．       ，they did not run away immediately．Instead，one chased after the other．It seemed that one was trying to        the tail of the other．

    Everyone was     ，so they stepped closer to take a look．They       that one of the mice was blind，and the other one was trying to      the blind mouse to bite on his tail so he could       the blind one with him to escape．

    After      what happened，everyone was lost in thought．One serious Rome official said："I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and      ．" The others thought for a while and said：“That was why！”

    A smart Israeli said："I think the relationship was husband and wife．"Again the others thought for a while，and all felt it made      ；so they agreed．Therefore，the Israeli’s expression showed       ．

    A Chinese，who was accustomed to the firm tradition of       to parents，said："I think their relationship was that of mother and       ．"Once again the others thought for a while，and felt this was more reasonable．So they agreed yet another time．Therefore，the face of the Chinese      professional modesty．

    At that moment，one pure­minded Samaritan looked at other people，and asked："Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship？"

    Suddenly，the atmosphere     ．The group looked back at the Samaritan and remained speechless．The Rome official，the Israeli and the Chinese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in      ．

    In fact，the true love is not       on benefit，friendship and loyalty or blood relationship．Instead，it is based on no relationship．
