Lucy plained to her father about her hard life. She wanted to  36 because she didn’t know how to    37     her problems. She felt tired of fighting and fighting. Once one        38      had been solved, another came.
Her father, a cook, took her into the     39    . He poured water into three pans. After the water     40    , in the first pan he put some carrots, the second some eggs, and in the     41     some coffee. He waited without any   42  .
The girl closed her mouth and waited,   43 by what her father was doing. After about twenty minutes, her father   44 the stove and took out the carrots and the eggs. Then the coffee was     45     into a cup.
Turning back to his daughter, he asked, “what do you  46  ?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she answered.
Her father suggested she   47   the carrots. She did, and felt the carrots were   48 . Then he asked her to take the eggs and   49 them. After peeling（剥）them, she felt that the eggs were hard.  Lastly, he asked her to smell the     50    . She asked impatiently  , “What’s the meaning of this, father?” He explained that  51  had felt the same misfortune to be put into the     52     water， but had reacted  53 . The strong and hard carrots became soft and weak after a while in the boiling water. The easily     54    eggs became hard after being cooked. Coffee was very unique --- it could change water.
“  55 are you?  ”asked  her father. “When the difficulty knocks your door, what is your reaction? Are you carrots, eggs, or coffee?”
