A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She said, “I don’t think I 　36 you, but you must be hungry. Please 　__37 and have something to eat.”

“Is the man of the house 　38 ?” they asked. “No,” she replied, “He’s out.” “Then we cannot come in,” they replied. In the evening when her 　 39　 came home, she told him what had happened. “ 　40　 them I am home and invite them in!” The woman went out and invited the men in. “We do not go into a house 　41　 ,” they replied. “Why is that?” she asked.

One of the old men explained, “His name is Wealth,” he said 　42　 one of his friends, “and he is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and 　43__　 your husband which one of us you want in your home.”

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was 　44　 . “How nice!” he said. “Since that is 　45 , let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!” His wife 　46 . “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own 　47 , “Wouldn’t it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love.” “Let us 　48　 our daughter-in-law’s advice,” said the husband to his wife. “Go out and invite 　49 to be our guest.” The woman went out and asked the three old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our 　50　 .”

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and 　51　 him. 　52　 , the lady asked Wealth and Success, “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?” The old men replied together, “If you 　 53　 Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but 　 54　 you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. 　 55　 there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!”

I first met Sean one summer day. He carried a bag    36 with four clubs(球杆)  and some balls. He was a lot   37  than other kids of his age. I heard he was   38   from cancer. Still , he always seemed to be smiling whenever I would see him with his friends, trying to  39  as far as he did.

A year or so passed and I hadn’t   40  Sean .I had heard that his cancer was   41      him. Still, his friends said he was going to come here before long.

  42  enough , he was there the following week. I   43  that one of his friends was carrying Sean’s bag. I saw Sean was having a(n)  44  time trying to drive the ball. Sean hit his last ball as hard as his fragile body would   45  .It flew up to the green and was out of sight. One of his friends   46  Sean walk up to the green. It was a(n)  47 walk because the green was higher than the tee(发球区).

Suddenly I saw one boy pick up Sean’s ball and    48  it in the hole. Then he ran and   49  to look for his own ball.

When Sean finally got to the green, he looked   50  because he thought he hit it over .

Then he glanced in the hole. A smile   51  his face! The boys looked at each other and said , “You can’t tell me it’s a hole-in-one!”

“No, really ! Look !” he said . They all acted    52  and as I watched , I thought Sean looked like the   53   guy I had ever seen. I never saw Sean or his friends after that day.   54   it was then that I learned just what golf should be .

It’s not about what   55  you get or how far you drive. It is about caring for the friends you play with and enjoying the time you have with them.
