A young man was one day taking a walk with his professor, who was well-known for his kindness to everyone. As they went along, they saw a pair of old ____, which belonged to a poor man who had almost____ his day’s work on the field.
The student ____ to the professor, saying: “Let us play the man a ____; we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see his ____ when he can not find them.”
“My young friend” answered the professor, “we should never do it at the ____ of the poor man. Please put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery ____ him.”
The student ____so, and they both hid behind the trees close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came to the place ____ he had left his coat and shoes. While____ on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something hard, he ____ down to see what it was, and found the____. An expression of ____ was seen upon his face. He looked at the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and ____to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding ____ coin. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and uttered aloud a thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and ____, and his children without bread, whom the timely help, from some unknown hand, would save from starving.
The student stood there ____affected(受打动), and his eyes filled with tears. “Now”, said the professor, “are you not much more ____ than if you had played your trick?”
The youth answered, “You have taught me a ____ which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of those words, which I never understood before: “It is more blessed to give than to ____.”
