My parents have always loved everything about India, so a year ago we went on holiday there. It’s a wonderful    15  with beautiful scenes and interesting people . However, I didn’t enjoy Indian  16  very much.

On the second day we planned to see an old palace. At the  17  they said. “If you go by train, it’ll take you only two hours to get there.” However, the hot   18  took over four hours. I was very  19  when we got there , so we had some rice and vegetables with bread in a small restaurant. We were  20  to find it was quite nice. I wasn’t full up though and I saw a man nearby eating some little meatballs.

I said to my dad, “I’ve been eating rice all week. Can I have some meatballs please?”

Well, they looked delicious so I ate the first one very  21  . I was just putting the second one in my mouth when I felt myself  22 —my mouth was on fire! I started to cough（咳嗽）and there were tears (泪水)in my eyes. I couldn’t  23  how spicy (辛辣的) it was!

I drank about ten glasses of water but the worst thing was everyone was laughing at me. You couldn’t make me eat another Indian meatball for all the   24   in the world!

There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India     . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is     because they can't grow much       the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.

So he     and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is     ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His     __ watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became     . As he coughed terribly , he       up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"

But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them      a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not      !" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them,      now I'll eat them. It's my     !"

   And you think that master was silly, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. we still continue just because we've     money, time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.

So      you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to      .
