There was once a wise old woman who lived in the hills．All the children nearby always went to
ask her all kinds of questions．Even the most difficult questions，the old woman was （56）
to answer them．It was easy for her（57） （answer）the children's all strange questions．
There was a naughty （淘气） little boy among the children．One day he caught a tiny （58） and held it in his cupped hands．Then he gathered his friends around．He said，"Let's trick the old woman．I（59） （ask） her what I'm holding in my hands．Of course，she'll answer that I have a bird．Then I will ask her if the bird is living or （60） ．If she says the bird is dead，I'll open my hands and let the bird fly away．If she says the bird is alive，I'll quickly crush it and show her the dead bird．Either way，she'll be （61） "
All the children enjoyed （62） （have） such a good idea．Up the hill they went to the old woman's hut（小屋）．"Granny，you are （63） clever that we all believe you，now we have a question for you，
they said with a smile．"What's in my hands？"asked the little boy．"Well，it must be a bird，"
（64） （reply）the old woman．"But is it living or dead？"The old woman thought for a moment
and then answered，"it is as you will，my child．
All the children looked at each other in surprise．But the old woman smiled and added，"I （65） （tell） you the right answer already．"Then the old woman disappeared in the hills．
A little boy once found a jar（罐子） of nuts（果仁） on the table．"I'd like some of these nuts，"he thought．"I'm sure mother will give them to me（41） she is here．I want some to eat now．"So he（42） the jar．As he was very hungry，he grabbed as （43） as he could hold．
But when he tried to pull his （44） out，he found the neck of the jar was too （45） ．His hand was held fast，but he did not want to （46） any of the nuts．He （47）_____again and again，but he couldn't get the whole handful out all the time．（48） he began to cry．
Just then his mother came into the room．"What's the matter？"she asked．"I can't take this handful of nuts （49） the jar，"sobbed the boy．"Well，don't be so greedy，"his mother replied．"Just take two or three，and you'll have no trouble （50） your hand out．""How （51） that was，"said the boy as he moved his hand off（52） ．"I might have thought of that （53） ．"
The story tells us that a man can't be so greedy，maybe thing will go to a/an．（54） side if we
want to finish a thing in one time．Do thing step by step! This is the best（55） to success．Only
like that can we go further．
