Once upon a time when there was a famine (饥荒), a rich baker sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town, and said to them, ''In this basket there is a loaf for each of you.   21   it, and come back to me every   22   at this hour till better times come. ''

The hungry children 23 eagerly around the basket, and quarreled for the bread, 24 each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even 25 the good gentleman. But Gretchen, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not 26 or struggle with the rest, but remained 27   modestly in the distance. When the ill-behaved children had left, she took the 28  loaf, which alone was left in the basket,   29   the gentleman's hand, and went home.

The next day the children were as 30 as before, and poor, shy Gretchen received a loaf only nearly half the 31 of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the _32   open, many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very much _33_, and said, ''Take the money back to the good __34_ at once, for it must have got into the loaf _35_. Be quick, Gretchen! Be quick! ''  

But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's _36 , he said, ''No, no, my child, it was no _37_. I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to _38_ you. Always be as contented, peaceable, and _39_ as you now are. Go home now, and the _40_ is your own. ''
