After the First World War, a small group of old soldiers returned to their village in Britain.Most of them managed to 1 fairly well, but one-Francis Binstering, who had been wounded and never recovered his 2 -was unable to work regularly. 3 he became very poor.Yet he was too 4 to accept anything from the people in the village.
Once these old soldiers held a reunion dinner in the home of Jules Grandin, who had made 5 money.Grandin produced a curiosity(稀奇的东西)-a large old 6 coin.Each man examined it with 7 as it passed around the long table.All, 8 , had drunk wine freely and the room was full of noisy talk, 9 the gold piece was soon forgotten.Later, when Grandin 10 it and asked for it, the coin was gone.
One of them suggested everyone be searched, 11 which all agreed, except Blustering.“You 12 , then?” asked Grandin.Blustering said with a red face, “Yes, I cannot allow it.”
One by one, the others turned out their pockets.When the coin was 13 to appear, attention was ?focused? on poor Blustering.Under the 14 stares of his friends, he walked out and returned to his home.
A few years later, Grandin had his house repaired.A workman found the gold coin. 15 in dirt between planks(板)of the floor.Hurrying to Blustering’s home, Grandin apologized to him.
“But why didn’t you allow yourself to be 16 ?” Grandin asked.
“Because I was a 17 ,” Blustering said brokenly.“For weeks we had not enough to eat and my pockets were full of 18 , that I had taken from the table to 19 home to my wife and 20 children.”
After finishing high school, Judy looked for a job at a store.Judy wanted to work as an assistant.The manager of the store 1 Judy,“We don't have any 2 for assistants now.But we have one job.Would you like to be a store detective?”Judy was very surprised,“But I'm 3 five feet two inches tall.And I only weigh 105 pounds.”The manager laughed.“You're just right for the job.You do look like a 4 .That's what we want.”He went on to explain,“If you see a customer steal something, wait until he is outside the store.Then stop him.We'll call the police.”
Judy decided 5 the job as a store detective.Each day she walked around the store, 6 customers.She remembered the manager's words:“Most shoplifters(扒手)are 7 .Many shoplifters are rich.”
The manager 8 right.One day Judy saw 9 who looked like a businessman standing at the jewelry counter(柜台).The assistant showed the man gold watches from Japan. 10 , the assistant turned to another customer.Right then, the businessman put two more watches on his 11 .He wore a coat so no one could find him out.He put two more watches on himself 12 the assistant turned back.“I 13 these watches,”said the businessman.The man walked as 14 as possible out of the front door.Judy 15 him outside and then shouted,“ 16 !I saw you steal four watches.”The man began to run.Judy ran after him.She cried out,“Stop that 17 !”A policeman at the corner seized the man and later, a police 18 took the thief away.
The manager of the store was 19 Judy.He said,“Good work, Judy.You are 20 .”
One day, a ragged(衣衫褴褛的)man with an old wallet in his hand was asking at every door along the street for a few cents to buy something to eat.As he was complaining about his bad fortune, he kept 1 why those folks who had so much money were never 2 and were always wanting more.
“As for me, if I had only enough to 3 and to wear, I wouldn’t want anything more, ”said the beggar.
Just at that moment Fortune(命运女神)came down the 4 .She saw the beggar and said to him, “Listen!I’ve long wished to 5 you.Now, hold your 6 and I’ll pour this gold into it.But I’ll pour only on this 7 :All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold;but every piece falling upon the 8 shall become dust.Do you understand?”
“Yes, I understand, ”said the beggar.“Then have a 10 .Your wallet is 10 , so don’t load it too heavily.”said Fortune.The beggar was so glad that he could hardly 11 .He quickly opened his wallet, and a 12 of yellow coins was poured into it.The wallet soon began to grow heavy.
“Is that enough?” asked Fortune.“Not yet.”“Isn’t it cracking?”“Never 13 .”The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to 14 .“Ah, if only the golden stream would 15 forever!I’m the richest man in the world now!Just a little more.”said the beggar.“ 16 just a handful or two.”“There!It’s full.The wallet will 17 .”“But it will 18 a little more, just a little more!”
Another piece was added and the wallet split(裂开).The 19 fell upon the ground and was turned to dust.The beggar had now 20 but his broken wallet.
