Once a man had a hen and the hen laid two golden eggs every day. The man was very happy. Every day he took the two golden eggs and {#blank#}1{#/blank#} them in the market. With the money he and his family lived {#blank#}2{#/blank#}.

    One day one of his friends said to him, “Friend, every day you take these two eggs to market and sell {#blank#}3{#/blank#} there. It is not easy money, isn't it? Why not take out all eggs from her {#blank#}4{#/blank#} at once?”

    He liked the idea, but couldn't make a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to kill that hen. A few days {#blank#}6{#/blank#} he decided to implement (实施) that idea because he found the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} in his friend's advice, and he was {#blank#}8{#/blank#}tired of (厌烦的) taking those eggs to the market daily.

    The next day he killed the hen and then opened the hen's stomach. But as he opened her stomach, he couldn't find {#blank#}9{#/blank#} in it. He looked for them here and there, left and right, up and down, but there was nothing {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.

    Without the television set, the radio and more importantly, the computer, we will{#blank#}1{#/blank#} have any fun in our homes today. However, the people in the past had their own clever{#blank#}2{#/blank#}of enjoying themselves. For example, they made music without the use of computers but with tools made from wood and animal skin.

    Travel was simple at that time. Most of the people were excellent boat makers and they could make boats in a variety of shapes and sizes for travelling along the rivers and in the {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. With increased skills and experience, the people learnt how to make the boats stronger against rains and storms.

    Some things are basic for us{#blank#}4{#/blank#}, but the people in the past could live the lives to the full even without them. We should not look down on the wisdom of people long ago.
