The children were well-behaved., standing in line behind their parents and      talking about what they would see that night.
One could      they had never been to the circus before. The mother was holding her husband’s hand while the father was smiling in      . The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly      , “Eight for children and two for adults, please.”
The ticket lady told him the price. The man’s wife let go of      hand, her head dropped, and his lip began to tremble. The father leaned a little      and asked, “How much did you say?”

Every so often, a kind-hearted woman or a small child would drop a few coins in the       which lay in front of them.
As the crowd began to die down, they started to           their things and head for their evening      . Just as they were getting ready to leave, they noticed a man walking toward them. He was obviously a         man—they could tell that from his finely tailored business suit.
The first beggar whispered to the second with          , “He’s coming our way!”
The two tried not to look         at the man as he stepped closer to them, but they couldn’t          gazing up with anticipation         he reached into his pocket and took something out.
“Thunk” was the only sound they heard as what looked like a piece of hard        , wrapped in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats. The rich man           and continued on his way, not making a backward glance.
“How insulting(侮辱人的)!” said the first beggar. “He could have          left us a few coins or a spare bill, but he mocks us with a piece of rock candy. Who does he think we are?        ? There’s no way we can even eat this—we have no         .” He picked up the object and threw it into the gutter.
“I haven’t had anything like this for ages,” the second beggar thought. “I can’t chew it, but I can suck on it      , and the sugary juices will stay in my          for a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet!”
With that, he         the white tissue paper, but to his        , there was no hard rock candy inside. However, into his fingers fell a shiny white pearl worth thousands of dollars.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s       filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so       that I decided to write an article about her.
I       Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career .She       and told me to come to her Studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of mind. I       I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there      , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…?” I soon realized that       Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The       was almost unbearable. I struggled for days       draft(草稿)after draft. Finally I put my manuscript(手稿)into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript      . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I      
in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t       the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While       my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in      :
Ms Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some       materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to       your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to      . Fear of rejection cost me greatly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of       writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer. Looking back on this      , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t       to doubt yourself.
