Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often　 31　 that he had been cheated by others．One day he told his wife he was so　 32　 with the city that he had to leave．

So his family moved to another city．It was the evening of a weekend．When Terry and his wife were busily　 33　 up their new home, the light suddenly went out．Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait　 34　 in a low mood．Just then he heard light, hesitant(犹豫的) knocks on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the　 35　 night．

“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a　 36　 to this city．And this was the moment he especially hated to be　 37　 , so he went to the door and opened it　 38　 ．At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles? I’m your neighbor．” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door violently．“What a nuisance(讨厌)!” he complained over it with his wife．“No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to　 39　 things．”

After a while, the door was knocked again．He opened it and found the same girl outside．　 40　 this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles．She　 41　 me here to give you these．” Terry was very　 42　 by what he saw．

At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his　 43　 in life．It was his　 44　 and harshness (刻薄) with other people．The person who had cheated him in life was　 45　 nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind．
