     Once there were five beggars (乞丐). One was English, one Turkish (土耳其人), one Greek (希腊人),
one was an Arab (阿拉伯人) and one was Persian (波斯人). One day they met and decided to stay together,
sharing what they had and helping each other in trouble times.
    Soon a man passed them in the street and gave them a coin. They talked about what to do with it. At last
they decided to buy something to eat.
     "Let's buy some grapes!" said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted"uzum", the Arab"aneb", the Greek
"stafelea", and the Persian insisted on (坚持) "angur". They did not understand each other's language very well.
Soon they quarreled and even fought.
     While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along. He knew all the five
languages. He asked them why they were fighting. After they told him, he said,"Give me your coin. I will buy
what you want."
     He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. Each beggar was happy, as each had what he had wanted.
They all asked for the same thing, but the word for "grapes" is different in different languages.
     If people could understand each other, there would be no need to fight.

2. ___________ the money, they decided to buy ___________ to eat.

     It was Mother's Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn't go back home. When he passed
by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind."I'll send Mum some roses (玫瑰)."
     While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside."How many roses can I get for only five
dollars, Madam?" he asked. The assistant was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a
dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations (康乃馨).
    "No, I have to have red roses." He said,"My mum was badly ill last year and I didn't get to spend much
time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favorite."
     After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them,
the assistant said,"Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you."Taking the roses, the young
man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see
the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.
     As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park.
But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses,"
Mum, oh, Mum, why didn't I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I
love her."
