A little old man and his wife walked slowly into McDonald’s 16 a cold-winter evening. They took a table near the back wall, and then the little old man walked to the cash register (收银处)to order. After a while he got the food back and they began to 17 it.
There was one hamburger, some French fries and one drink. The little old man carefully cut the hamburger into halves and 18 the French fries in two piles. Then he neatly put the 19 of the food in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink and his wife took a sip. "How20 the old people are!" The people around them thought.
21 the man began to eat his hamburger and his French fries, his wife sat there 22 him and took turns to drink. 23 young man came over and offered to buy another meal for them. But they refused  24 and said that they got used to 25 everything.
Then a young lady asked the little old lady a question. "Madam, why aren’t you eating? You said that you shared everything. Then what are you waiting for?" She answered, "The teeth.”

Just as he was putting his head under his wing, some  18  fell on him. He thought it was raining. But when he looked  19 , he found the sky was  20  clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly, he saw some tears were running down the Prince’s golden  21 .

“ 22  are you crying?” asked the swallow.

“In a little street, there’s a poor house. From one of the windows, I see a woman  23  at a table. She’s sewing clothes for  24  women to wear.
