A farmer had a donkey and a dog. Both the donkey and the dog {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (help) their master in many ways. One night, two thieves broke in the farmer's {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. The dog heard them and started barking. The farmer got {#blank#}3{#/blank#} and so did the neighbors. So they caught the two thieves.

    The farmer said, "I'm glad I had this dog." The neighbors also thought so.

    From that day, the donkey decided to show his master that he could also be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (use) just like the dog.

    One night, the thieves again entered the farmer's house. As the thieves looked in, they saw the dog {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (sit) just outside the main door. "It seems the dog is quite watchful," said one thief.

    "We {#blank#}6{#/blank#} better go at once," the other thief said and then the two thieves went away. But unknown to the thieves, the donkey was watching all this. He thought, "It is a good chance for me to show {#blank#}7{#/blank#} master that I can be useful. The thieves have run away. If I start {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (shout), the master will thank me." So the donkey started braying(驴叫) {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (loud).

    When the farmer heard the donkey, he {#blank#}10{#/blank#} angry. He came out with a stick and hit the donkey hard. "This will teach you not to bray at night," he thought.

    Peter was the best table tennis player in his school and hardly ever lost a match. He hated losing anything. When he {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (win), he would feel really good. If he lost, he would feel terrible. It seemed to Peter that losing was the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (bad) thing in the world.

    A new kid, Albert, came to Peter's school. He was good at table tennis, too. Soon there would be a match {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Peter and Albert. Peter worked hard to get ready for the match, but Albert didn't seem {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (think) much of it. When the match began, Albert was a real player. There was always a smile on his face, while Peter looked serious all the time. Peter thought it was so important to win the match {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he even wanted to cheat(作弊), but he lost in the end.

    "You played very well, Peter. I think we can play again sometime," said Albert. But Peter didn't feel happy and couldn't fall {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (sleep) that night.

    One day, Peter saw Albert playing basketball. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} he lost again and again, the happy smile never left his face. Peter found Albert was great at table tennis， but bad at basketball. However, he enjoyed {#blank#}8{#/blank#} of them.

    Whether he won or lost the game, Albert enjoyed it. Peter came to realize that enjoying a game was much more important than winning or {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (lose) it. He felt {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (happy) than ever before.
