The young apprentice (学徒) glanced at the______and said, “Nothing I can do except______the upper.” His master looked at them and said, “If you______me, I will add more scratches on both the shoes.”

I was______and asked why. He explained, “As if the openings were made______for a special style.” I didn’t quite understand him,______I decided to leave the shoes.
