A little boy was very hungry．He was h{#blank#}1{#/blank#}to see ajar of nuts(一罐坚果)on the table because nuts were one of his favourite things to eat．

    "I'd like some of these nuts.I'm sure Mother would give them to m{#blank#}2{#/blank#}．But I can't ask her because she isn't here．I'll j{#blank#}3{#/blank#}take a big handful(一把)．I'm sure it's OK，"thought the little boy．

    The little boy P{#blank#}4{#/blank#}his hand into the jar and grabbed(抓)a big，big handful．

    H{#blank#}5{#/blank#}，when he tried to get his hand out,he couldn't．The neck of the jar was too small．His hand was stuck(卡住)．

    He tried again and again but couldn't get his hand out．

    Soon．he started to shout for h{#blank#}6{#/blank#}．

    His mother heard his shouts．She w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} into the room and asked."What's the m{#blank#}8{#/blank#} ?"Then she looked at the little boy's hand in the jar and asked，"w{#blank#}9{#/blank#} are you doing?''

    "I can't get my hand out of the jar,"said the little boy,

    "Well don't take so much．Take two or three nuts．Then,you can get your hand out e{#blank#}10{#/blank#}，"said his mother．

    The boy tried his mother's advice．Of course，it worked!
