_40_, the boy went off to buy sweets and lots of toys. He came home as happy as he could be, but he _41_ looked sad in that mirror.

“What a(n) _42_ mirror! It’s the first time I’ve seen a mirror that didn’t _43_ properly!”

That afternoon he went out to buy some toys and on his way he saw a little girl who was _44_. The boy went over to see what had __45_ to her. The little girl said that she couldn’t find her parents. Together the two children set off _46_ them. As the little girl wouldn’t stop crying, the boy spent all of his money buying her sweets to _47_ her up. After much walking, they _48_ her parents who were looking for her, very worried.

Then the boy said _49_ to the family. When seeing the time, he _50_ to head for home, without toys and without _51_. In his room, to his great surprise, he found a(n)  _52_ face in the mirror. And so he understood the _53_ of that mirror. The mirror could only reflect the _54_ feelings of its owner. He felt really happy at having _55_ that little girl.
