A thousand years ago,a master(大师) went to India. In those times,we didn't have
the communications or airplanes or many kinds of transport that we do now. So the
master went to India l . He had never been to India before. And when he 2 ,he
saw a lot of fruit. In India they had plenty of. 3 to sell,but much of it was expensive
because they couldn't grow much 4 the water situation(情况). So he saw one
basket,a big basket of some very red,long fruit. And it was 5 in the shop, not
expensive at all.
So he went up and asked," 6 a kilo?" And the shopkeeper said,"Two Rupees. "
Two Rupees in India is -7 ,just like waste paper. So he bought a whole kilogram of
the fruit and started eating it. But 8 he ate some of it:"Oh,my God!" His eyes
watered,his mouth watered and burned,his eyes were burning,his head was burning and

his face became _9 . As he coughed and was nearly out of breath,he jumped up and
down,saying,"Ah! Ah! Ah!" :

their heads and said,"You're 10 ,man. Those are chilies(竦椒) ! You can't eat .so
many;they're not good for you! People put just, 11 into food for taste. You can't
just eat them like that;they're not fruit ! " But the silly master said,"No,l can't stop! I
12 money for them,and now I'll eat them. It's my money! "
Similarly,we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We invest(授资) money,time or
effort in a relationship,business or job. And even though it's been a long hard time,and
wc know there's no more 13 that things will change in the future,we still continue
just because we've invested money,time,effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate
the chilies and 14 so much but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the
money he'd paid.
So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That’s 15 than continuing to lose.

One morning,a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He
held a sign which said,"l am blind. Please help me. "
There were only a few coinsc硬币) in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a
few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign,turned
it around,and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who
walked by could see the new words.

boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.

position shows the real you. In a normal night,of course,people frequently change their
positions. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person. You normally trust
people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to displease
people. So you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't quite
