I didn’t have a job at the time and I was getting help from the government. One day, I was walking to a  36 to get some food when I noticed a little man     37  on a bench beside the store. I walked past him but could not 38     thinking about him.  So I 39 around and went up to him and asked him if he was  40 . He said no. He said he hadn’t  41 for two days. I told him, “Don’t     42 . I’ll be right back.” Before leaving, I  43  him what he would like to eat. He said it didn’t 44 . Then I asked him to tell me what he hadn’t had for a long     45 . He said “a Pepsi”. I went into the store and got him some bread, lunch meat, chips, cookies —  46 food for a few days. The store didn’t have Pepsi,  47     I had to go to another one. I used the 48  of what I had to get him a Pepsi from a store far 49 .

After a long time, when I brought him the 50 and the Pepsi, he cried. With     51  in his eyes, he said, “You are my angel.” When he  52 to hug me, I had a strange  53 — he was my angel, too. I couldn’t even  54  the feeling clearly. Maybe because he gave me a / an 55  to help him, which helped me to understand that I also had abilities to help others.

Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner did now know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good. But nobody seemed to want to eat there.

Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu that he gave to the lady gave a much higher price.

Once there was a king who never ate a meal unless there was a dish of fish with it, but one day there was a big storm and the fishermen were not able to go out to catch fish, so the king had no breakfast and no lunch. Then he ordered his servants to tell everybody in his capital that if anyone brought him a fish, he would give him anything that he asked for.

At last, a fisherman caught a big fish late in the afternoon and hurried to the king's palace with it. But the king's Prime Minister would not let him in until he promised to give him half of whatever the king gave him for the fish.

The king was very happy when he saw the fish. He asked the fisherman what he wanted for his fish. To his surprise, the fisherman said, "I want you to beat me two dozen(一打) times with a stick." When the king began to beat him a dozen times, the fisherman jumped away and said, "That is enough for me. I promised the other dozen to your Prime Minister." Then he told the king what had happened between the Prime Minister and himself. The king was very angry. He not only gave the Prime Minister the dozen hits, but also said, "Because you have been dishonest, you will not be my Prime Minister any more. The fisherman will take your place."
