Question

 

  A rich landowner decided to leave possessions to one of his two sons. As he lay on the deathbed, he called the two young men to him     1      the break of dawn and even before the cock could crow (鸣叫). He then said, “I will leave all my wealth to the one     2     can best fill this room. It was in this room     3      I made plans on how to build up my fortune. Not an inch must     4     (leave) uncovered. As I am getting     5     (weak) by the hour you both must come back by midnight.” He handed them a small piece of silver and an empty bag to put their purchases in. They both went out and    6     (hurry) came back with their purchases.     7     (bring) the straw, the elder began to spread it about the floor,    8      far from filling the room. It did not even cover half the space. “This is no use, son,” said the father, “and let me see how     9      brother fills the room.” The younger son took     10     his bag a large candle, set it on the table in the centre of the room and lit it. A brilliant bright light filled up the whole room. The father was delighted and exclaimed, “Son, I am sure you will use the wealth well.”
