    Zun-Nun smiled. “That's the answer to your question, my friend. Someone can't be valued only from his 10. The ring was a gift from the emperor,” he said.

A young man named Mark lived with his father, a wise old man. One day, Mark told his father {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (sad) that he made little progress in learning the guitar, although he had tried hard. Mark asked his father {#blank#}2{#/blank#}some help.

"Follow me, and I {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(lead) you to the high hills around our village tomorrow,"said his father. Then, they set out. The road was long and difficult, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Mark still followed his father. As they got higher, the father said that he wanted to go to the top of the highest hill where he had never been. Mark was surprised but decided {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(help) his father. With great difficulty, Mark helped his father climb the hill. Finally, they got to the top.

"When you were {#blank#}6{#/blank#} little boy,sometimes the elder children laughed at you. Do you remember why?" said his father.

Mark nodded. He remembered that as a child, he and all his {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(friend) called this hill Mount Impossible, because small children couldn't reach its top.
