Hundreds of years ago in a small town, a moneylender lent a lot of money to a poor man. The moneylender , who was old and ugly, _____ the poor man’s beautiful daughter. So he came up with an idea. He said the poor man didn’t need to return the money to him _____ he could marry his daughter. Both the man and his daughter were____.

The moneylender then told them that he would put a small ____ stone and a small white stone into an empty bag. The girl would have to ____ one. If she took the black stone , she would become the moneylender’s _____ and her father’s debt (债务) would be let go. If she picked the white stone, she didn’t need to marry him and her father’s debt would ______ be let go. Her father would be put into prison if she refused to pick a stone.

As they talked, the moneylender picked up two stones. As he did that, the girl ____that he had put two black stones in the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her stone from the bag.

The girl thought for a while and then had an idea. She put her hand into the bag and took out a stone. looking at it, she let it fall onto the path where it became lost among all the other stones. “ Oh how I was!” She said, “But never . If you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to which stone I picked.” This tells: Sometimes we can think about things in a way. Most difficult problems do have an solution.
