A man was bitterly envious of his neighbour.He spent long hours in prayer,wanting to be     to his neighbour in every aspect of life.
One night,God appeared before him in a dream and said,“I am pleased with your       .Ask for a gift     your neighbour will get the same gift in double amount.”
He was glad but sad that his enemy would get a greater gift.He requested,“God,      the sight in one of my eyes.”
With his single eye,he peeped at his neighbour but was     to see his neighbour's sight was not lost! Confused,he       to God,“Why don’t you keep your word?”
God said,“Son,I always keep my word.              is not a gift,but a curse.You have the gift of sight in only one eye now,as asked by you.But your neighbour has sight in both of his eyes.I       the gift.”
He suddenly       from his dream and was sure that it was a message from God.Englightened by the dream,he went to his neighbour and begged his pardon for thinking and acting       him.They embraced each other and were good friends thereafter.

My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this       .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and       . All the students were working        a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no        of stopping. I walked down the row and found        was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my       , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on        I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” I felt it best not to       .
After another ten minutes, the students were        to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoebox.Then Donna      hers. She put the lid(盖子) on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel(铁铲) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to       . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the        of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt.At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and        your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to        the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is        by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’.May ‘I Can’t’ rest in       . Amen!”
She turned the students        and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the        of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student        and said, “I Can’t,” Donna       pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.
