A man found a cocoon of a moth. He took it home so that he could    31   the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small    32   appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to    33   the body through that little hole.
Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had    34  as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the    35   bit of the cocoon. The    36   then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven（无用的） wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and    37   to be able to support the    38  , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life    39   around with a small, swollen body and shriveled wings. It was    40   able to fly.
What the man in his kindness    41    was that the small cocoon and the    42   of the moth to get through the    43   opening was a way to push fluid(液体)   44   the body of moth  45   its wings so that it would be ready to fly    46   it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and  47   would come only after the struggle. By taking the moth of a struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to    48   our lives without any difficulties, we would be disabled. We would not be as    49   as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for    50  .                

Once upon a time a washer man(洗衣工) had two donkeys（毛驴）. Let’s say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.

Donkey –A felt it was very 36 and could do better than the other. It always tried to 37 more load(担子) and walk fast in front of the washer man.

Innocent(无辜的) Donkey-B was 38, so it would walk normally, regardless of(不管/不顾) the washer man’s preference. 39 a period of time, the washer man started urging Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.

Donkey-B, unable to walk fast, got continuous 40 from the washer man. It cried and said personally to Donkey-A, “Dear friend, only we two are here, why do we have to 41 with each other? We can carry 42 load at normal speed.

That made Donkey-A more energetic（精力充沛的）and it told the washer man that it could carry more load and 43 faster. The washer man started 44 Donkey-B to make it run faster. During the following days, Donkey-A carried more load and started running even faster.

But it was hard for Donkey-B to 45 that way. The washer man was disappointed, 46 he punished Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down 47.

Then the load of Donkey-B was also being 48 by Donkey-A, and still it had to run fast. Finally due to great tiredness it got tired and started feeling the 49.

But the washer man 50 more from Donkey-A. It tried its best, but couldn’t 51 his owner’s expectations. The washer man got angry with Donkey-A and started 52 it to take more load. But it couldn’t come to the owner’s 53. Finally the day came when due to disappointment the washer man killed Donkey-A and began 54 some other donkeys.

Once upon a time, a Japanese man wanted to rebuild his house. First he had to tear the walls open .Japanese houses  36  have hollow(空的)spaces between the wooden walls. As he was  37  them down, he found a lizard(蜥蜴)  38 there because a nail(钉子)from the outside had been hammered into one of its feet. Seeing this, he felt  39 for it, and at the same time was curious about it.

     He knew very well that the  40  had been hammered 10 years before when the house was first  41   . What had happened since? The lizard had  42  for 10 years! To be stuck in a dark wall for 10 years without  43 —it hardly seems possible, and is hard to   44  . Then he wondered how the lizard could have lived for 10 years without moving a single step —since its   45  was nailed! So he stopped work and began to   46  the lizard. He wanted to know what it had been doing, and what and   47  it had been eating.

     A short time later another lizard   48  with food in its mouth. He was shocked, and at the same time deeply   49  . Another lizard had been feeding the stuck one   50 the past ten years.

     "What love  51 in this tiny creature! What can love do? It can do  52 ! Just think, one lizard has been   53  another untiringly for 10 long years, without   54 hope that its partner would be saved,"the man marvelled.

     If a small creature like a lizard can   55   like this, just imagine how we could if we tried

According to a legend, a young man while roaming the desert came across a spring of delicious crystal-clear water．The water was so sweet, he   36  his leather canteen so he could bring some   37   to a tribal elder who had been his teacher．

After a four-day journey he  38   the water to the old man who took a deep drink,   39   warmly and thanked his student lavishly for the sweet water．The young man returned to his village with a happy  40  ．

Later, the teacher let another student   41   the water．He spat it   42  , saying it was awful．It   43   had been no longer fresh and   44  unpleasant to drink because of the old leather container．

The student challenged his teacher: "Master, the water was foul．Why did you   45   to like it?"

The teacher replied, "You only tasted the water．I tasted the   46  ．The water was simply the container for an act of loving-kindness and nothing could be  47  ．"

I think we understand this lesson best when we receive  48  gifts of love from young children．  49   it's a ceramic tray or a macaroni bracelet, the   50  and proper response is   51   and expressed thankfulness because we love the idea within the gift．

Gratitude doesn't always come naturally．  52  , most children and many adults value only the thing given   53   the feeling embodied in it．We should remind ourselves and   54  our children about the beauty and purity of feelings and expressions of gratitude．  55  , gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart．

The man was  50  , saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s have a look.” And  51__enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in its  52  .

The man said, “That’s amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It’s  53  . On the  54  of the page is a(n) 55   of a man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place.”
