　　Tom was a middle-aged leather trader whose repeated failure in career made him a depressed man, often complaining that others had been playing tricks on him．One day he told his wife he was so 　　1　　 with the city that he had to leave．

　　So his family moved to 　　2　　 city．It was in the evening of a weekend when Tom and his wife were busy 　　3　　 up their new home 　　4　　 the light suddenly went out．So they had to 　　5　　 work．Tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait 　　6　　 in a low mood．Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 　　7　　 night．

　　“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no 　　8　　 in the new city．And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed．　　9　　, he went reluctantly to the door and opened it impatiently．At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 　　10　　? I’m your neighbor．” “No,” answered Tom in anger and shut the door violently．“What a nuisance!” he complained over it with his wife．“No sooner had we settled down 　　11　　 the neighbor came to 　　12　　 things．” After a while, the door was knocked 　　13　　．He opened it and found the same girl outside．But this time she was holding two candles, saying, “My grandma told me the new neighbor downstairs might need candles．She 　　14　　 me here to give you these．”Tom was very 　　15　　 by what he saw．When he became fully aware, he said, “Thank you and your 　　16　　．God bless you!”

　　At that moment he suddenly realized what caused his 　　17　　 in life．It was his 　　18　　 and harshness(刻薄)with other people．The person who had cheated him in life was 　　19　　 nobody else but himself, for he had fallen for his unsympathetic 　　20　　．

　　The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep．Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet．He’d dreamt of the cave last night．The purring(轻微颤动声)of the freezer had been the sea．

　　Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag．It was too early for breakfast．He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea．

　　He wished he had a proper pack．His schoolbag would have to do．What else? Sandwiches－but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she’d want to know why he had to leave so early．He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table：

　　Gone to Michael’s．Back tonight．Tim．

　　The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up．Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street．The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet．

　　The sandhills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool．He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves．

　　The light changed suddenly．The first rays of sunlight stretched(延伸)across the sea．The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world．

　　Over the first rocks, along to the point．Tim glanced back．The beach was still empty．The sun sailed higher in the sky．

　　He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light．The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it．He had to force himself to go closer．Why was it so much more mysterious now ? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble．He needn’t go in all the way…
