One day, Nick invited his
friends to supper. He was cooking some
delicious food in the
kitchen .Suddenly ,he
16
(find)that he had run
out
of
salt.
So
Nick
called
to
his
son,
”
Go
to
the
village
and
buy
some
salt,
but pay a fair price
for it: neither too much 17 too
little.
”
His
son
looked
surprised.
”
I
can
understand
why
I
shouldn
’
t
pay
too
much,
Father, but if I can pay less, 18 not save a bit
of money?
”
“
That would be a very
19(reason)thing to do in a big city, but it
could destroy a small village like
ours,
”
Nick said.
Nick
’
s
guests,
20
had
heard
their
conversation,
asked
why
they
should
not buy salt more cheaply
if
they could
.Nick replied,
”
The only
reason
a
man
would
sell
salt
21
a
lower
price
would
be
because
he
wait
desperate
for
money.
And
anyone
who
took
advantage
of
that
situation
would
be
showing
a lack
of respect 22 the sweat and struggle of the man
who worked very
hard to produce
it.
”
“
But
such
a
small
thing
couldn
’
t
23
(possible)
destroy
a
village.
”
“
In
the
beginning,
there
was
only
24 very
small
amount
of
unfairness
in the world, but
everyone added a little ,always 25 (think) that it
was
only
small
and
not
very
important
,and
look
where
we
have
ended
up
today.
