A boy was walking home from the school. Suddenly, he saw a large, red apple 1 on an apple tree. The boy didn't like fruit very much, but this time he had a 2 will to have this one. And the more he looked at it, the 3 he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe（脚尖）, stretching as high as he could, but he was unable to 4 it. He began to jump up and down, as high as he could, but the apple was still out of 5 .
"I can't 6 ! " he thought, "7 I can have something to stand on." But his schoolbag wouldn't give enough height and he didn't want to 8 the things inside, either. Looking around, he hoped he could find an old box, a rock, or, with luck, even a ladder, but nothing was 9 .
Without seeing any other choices, he felt quite 10 and had to walk away. At first, he felt angry 11 how hungry he had become, and how he really wanted that apple. The more he thought like this, the unhappier he would become.
However, the boy was always a pretty 12 guy. He thought for a while and said to himself, "I can do nothing to get the apple, and the result is unchangeable for me. Being upset isn't 13 because it can't change anything. So I must change my 14 and be joyful. I should go home earlier and eat something else, then I may not be hungry and I may not be angry, 15 .
