　　One day, a ragged(衣衫褴褛的)man with an old wallet in his hand was asking at every door along the street for a few cents to buy something to eat．As he was complaining about his bad fortune, he kept 　　1　　 why those folks who had so much money were never 　　2　　 and were always wanting more．

　　“Yes, I understand, ”said the beggar．“Then have a 　　10　　．Your wallet is 　　10　　, so don’t load it too heavily．”said Fortune．The beggar was so glad that he could hardly 　　11　　．He quickly opened his wallet, and a 　　12　　 of yellow coins was poured into it．The wallet soon began to grow heavy．

　　“Is that enough?” asked Fortune．“Not yet．”“Isn’t it cracking？”“Never 　　13　　．”The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to 　　14　　．“Ah, if only the golden stream would 　　15　　 forever！I’m the richest man in the world now！Just a little more．”said the beggar．“　　16　　 just a handful or two．”“There！It’s full．The wallet will 　　17　　．”“But it will 　　18　　 a little more, just a little more！”

　　When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the 　　1　　 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 　　2　　 in good health, or 　　3　　 about how to behave and conduct oneself in society．If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to 　　4　　 damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text 　　5　　 the title．Therefore, the scissors would 　　6　　 before they start, 　　7　　 halfway done when I find out the 　　8　　 result．

　　Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 　　9　　．You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be 　　10　　 up．

　　But you know the future is unpredictable－the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left 　　11　　．Thus you are 　　12　　 in a difficult position and feel sad．How 　　13　　 that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once?It may happen that your life 　　14　　 greatly on your preference of one choice to the other．

　　In fact that is what 　　15　　 is like：we are often 　　16　　 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only 　　17　　 we get into another．The 　　18　　 may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind．I 　　19　　 remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life．”So a casual 　　20　　 may not be a bad one．
