One day, a young man was taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They thought it belonged to a poor man who worked in a field nearby. The student said to the professor, “Let us play the man a joke: we will take away his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those trees and wait to see what will happen when he cannot find them. That must be very interesting.”

　 “My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never make ourselves happy at the cost of the poor. But you can put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery（发现）changes him.”

　　The student did so.

The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He found the coin. Surprise was seen on his face. He found the coin and looked at it again and again. He then looked around, but there was no person. He now put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, he was surprised again to find the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and said aloud some thanksgiving words about his family.

　　The student was deeply moved and he said, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of those words, which I never understood before: It is more blessed（神圣的） to give than to receive.”

The old woman said，“Come in and have dinner with me，but my dinner is only some potatoes.”They had d  【小题4】 together. After dinner，the old woman told Bill to t 【小题5】 some potatoes with him. He thanked her and left.
Ten years later，Bill came b  【小题6】  to the old woman^，s door again and gave her a bag of m  【小题7】 .She was surprised. Bill said，“Ten years ago you gave me some p  【小题8】 .I grew some potato plants.
