Question

Today I’d like to share a real story about my father. When he was young, he spent some time in northern Africa. “You will learn much about the world _________ you go out and see it,” my father always says.

While in Africa, my father woke up early one morning and decided to take a walk. Then he ________ a small shop. He saw a small brass( 黄铜) butterfly( 蝴蝶) and asked the shop keeper the ________ of it, but he was not interested in buying it.

My father left and continued his _________ through the town. Suddenly, he saw the shop keeper again from the market. “Hey Sir,” said the man, “I would really like to _________ this toy to you. If the price is too high, what price would you pay for it?”

But my father was not interested. So he politely _________ again. Soon my father was on another street. And to ________ surprise, the man was there too. Finally, the man said, “It is my country’s custom that I must make a sale to the first person who enters my shop _________ a Friday morning. So I must sell this toy to you. It will mean bad luck for me __________ you do not buy it. ”

My father realized how important this was. He decided to buy the toy. “How much for it?” he asked. “One penny( 便士),” said the man __________. My father gladly gave the man two dollars, for he had learned something of the country’s culture that day.
