A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the   26  , shouting angrily at each other. He___27    his disciples(弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in    28   at each other ?” The disciples   29    for a while and one of them said, “ Because we   30__   our calm, we shout.” “But, why should you shout    31   the other person is just next to you ? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n)   32   manner,” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none   33   the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their   ___34   . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to  35   each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to __36    that great distance. What   37__    when two people fall in love ? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very  38   . The distance between them is either nonexistent or very small.”

The wise man  39    , “When they love each other even more, they do not   __40   , but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they   41 need not whisper. They only look at each other and that’s   42  . That’s how close people are when they love each other.”

He looked at his disciples and said, “So, when you   43  , do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.   44   there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to  45  . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”

Last winter, when I was heavily pregnant, I was visiting my sister and brother-in-law's house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn't have accessible parking. The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground --- not many people had ventured out that evening!

When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.

All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!

When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.
