Terry was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often  21   that he had been cheated by others. One day he told his wife he was so  22   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  23   up their new home, the light suddenly  24  . Terry was regretful to have forgotten bringing along  25   and had to wait  26   in a low mood. Just then he heard light, hesitant  27   on his door that were clearly audible (听到) in the  28   night.

“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Terry was a  29  to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be  30 , so he went to the door and opened it  31 . 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  32 . “What a nuisance(讨厌)!” he complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to  33  things.”

After a while, the door was knocked again. He opened it and found the same girl outside.  34  this time she was  35  two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles. She  36  me here to give you these.” Terry was very  37  by what he saw.

At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his  38  in life. It was his  39  and harshness (刻薄) with other people. The person who had cheated him in life was  40  nobody else but himself, for his eyes had been blurred (蒙蔽) by his unsympathetic mind.
