An old man had been working for many years for a town. His job was to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills, which made up the lovely river flowing through the town nearby.

The town soon became a popular attraction for tourists. Elegant swans (Ìì¶ì) floated along the clear river and the view was so beautiful¡¡ 39¡¡¡¡ words.

Years passed. One evening the town¡¡ 40¡¡ met. As they reviewed the budget, one man¡¯s 41 caught sight of the salary ¡¡42¡¡ being paid to the seldom seen keeper of the river.

His position isn¡¯t¡¡ 45¡¡ any longer.¡± Then they voted to¡¡ 46¡¡ the man.

For several weeks, nothing changed¡­.

By early autumn, the trees began to 47 their leaves. Small branches broke off and fell into the pools of the hills, 48¡¡ the flow of the shining water.

A Good Custodian

I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian£®

I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart down my

hallway£®Of course, she is my building's cleaner,

One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a ¡¡36 on my

desk from my custodian,

It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been ¡¡37¡¡ to clean it£®This took¡¡ 38¡¡ than she had expected£® She had left the typewritten note on my desk to ¡¡39 for not being able to clean my room as she was ¡¡40¡¡ to do£®

At the beginning of the period, I shared her note with my first period¡¡ 41¡¡ When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us, their first ¡¡42 was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their ¡¡43¡¡ . It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name -all of them responded with smiles and ¡¡44¡¡ for a long time about this time or that time when she'd¡¡ 45 each of them in the hallway£®That she felt she needed to apologize ¡¡46¡¡ a strong reaction from many of the kids£®

As the class period was about to end, I asked them to¡¡ 47 the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage ¡¡ 48¡¡ it wasn't theirs£®My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly¡¡ 49¡¡ their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that ¡¡50¡¡ so easily from notebooks£®One girl made a £¨an£©¡¡ 51¡¡ that I later used with my other classes:" Her job might be to clean the room, but she shouldn't have to clean up¡¡ 52 us£®There's a difference£®¡±

I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong£®I believe that people appreciate it when others¡¡ 53¡¡ take care of them£®And I believe that people, even adolescents who are not quite yet mature, appreciate it when they see someone who takes ¡¡54¡¡ in her work£® Sometimes we need a ¡¡55¡¡ of the things we take for granted £®£®£®things like a good custodian to take care of us£®

Checks have largely taken the place of money as a means of ¡¡ 36¡¡ , for they are widely accepted everywhere. ¡¡37¡¡ this is very ¡¡38¡¡ for both buyer and seller, it should not be forgotten that checks are not real money: they are quite ¡¡39 in themselves. A shop-keeper runs a certain 40 when he accepts a check and he is quite ¡¡41 his rights if, on occasion, he ¡¡42 to do so. People do not always know this and are ¡¡43¡¡ if their good faith is called in question. A wealthy friend of mine told me he had an extremely ¡¡44 experience.

One day he decided to buy a particularly fine pearl necklace at a famous jewelry shop which keeps a large__45 of precious stones and asked if he could pay ¡¡46 check, the assistant said that this was quite 47 . But the moment my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager¡¯s office. The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone ¡¡48 exactly the same name had presented them with a worthless check not long ago. My friend got very angry at it and said he would buy a necklace ¡¡49 .
