The student turned to the professor, saying："Let us play the man a 4 ：we will hide his shoes, and wait to see his 5 when he cannot find them．" "My young friend," answered the professor, "we 6 never amuse ourselves 7 the poor．But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater 8 by means of the poor man．Put a coin into each shoe, and 9 watch how the discovery affects him．"
