　　There was a blacksmith(铁匠) who wasn't satisfied with his work. Once he plained, “I am not well and my work is too warm. I want to be a     36     on the mountain. There it must be     37    , for the wind blows and the trees give a shade..” A wise man who had     38     over all things replied, “Go you, be a stone.” And he was a stone, high up on the     39     side. It happened that a stone-cutter     40     that way for a stone and when he saw the one that had been the      41    , he knew that it was what he     42     and he began to cut it. The stone     43     out, “This hurts! I no longer want to be a stone. A stone-cutter I want to be. That     44     be pleasant.” The wise man, humoring him, said, “Be a cutter.”     45     he became a stone-cutter and as he went seeking a suitable stone, he     46     tired and his feet were sore（酸痛）. He     47    ,” I no longer want to cut stone. I would be the sun; that would be pleasant.” The wise man     48    , “Be the sun.” And he was the sun. But the sun was warmer than the blacksmith, than a stone, than a stone-cutter, and he plained, “I do not     49     this. I would be the moon. It     50     cool.” The wise man spoke yet again, “Be the moon.” And he was the moon. This is warmer than being the sun,”     51     he, “for the light from the sun     52    on me ever. I do not want to be the moon. I would be a     53     again. That, indeed, is the     54     life.” But the wise man replied, “I am     55    of your changing. You wanted to be the moon; the moon you are and you will remain.”
