Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman who always dreamt of becoming rich. He wished to become a millionaire, and so did his wife. He heard from some old {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (man) before, that several ships loaded with diamonds and gold had sunk (沉没) in the nearby seashore. Because of this, for a long time he kept {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (search) that whole area for this treasure.

    One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming, he suddenly felt that the fishing rod (竿) was being pulled down by {#blank#}3{#/blank#} heavy object. He was so {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (excite) that he pulled hard at it, and what he saw made him {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (shout), "Wow! A big shiny, gold chain!" He pulled hard at the gold chain {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (get) it into the boat, {#blank#}7{#/blank#} it seemed to be no end to it. His boat started to get overloaded and it {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (fill) with sea water. However, he had begun dreaming of a big house, a big piece of land and buying horses and cows… He kept pulling in the chain and the boat kept sinking. The boat {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (final) sunk and he struggled to stay afloat. Unfortunately his feet were caught in the gold chain and he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (die).
