difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home
one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was
quite wrong. The man wouldn"t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth-so I decided
that my approach must be wrong.
I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you
want for it, Sir?" "20 pounds," I said, "OK," he said, "I will give you 20 pounds." "It"s got a slightly broken leg,"
I said. "Yes, I saw that, it"s nothing."
Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked.
"Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I will buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You have just
sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know. But I have changed my mind. I am sorry; I will give you 27 pounds for
it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to
repair your chair." "You are right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said "would
you mend this chair for me?"" "I wouldn"t have agreed to do it," he said. "We don"t do repairs, not enough
money in it and too much trouble. But I will mend this for you, shall we say for a five?" He was a very nice
man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.

story is one such lesson that I will never 1 . Every time I drift off course, I think of this story.
It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on 2 things in life and about
devoting ourselves to 3 is important to us. This is how the story went:
An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would 4 every morning and go to the sub-way.
He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and 5 . He would do
this every single day of his life. He sat at 6 street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
His 7 was dirty, and a stench (恶臭) came out and it smelled terrible. The neighbors could not stand
the smell any more, 8 they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the
door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of 9 all over the house that he had collected over the
years.
The police counted the money, and they soon 10 that the old man was a millionaire (百万富翁). They
waited outside his house expecting to 11 the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that
evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a 12 man
now, a millionaire.
But the old man said 13 ; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up 14 ,
went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg.
