The beggar’s well-deserved dinner
Many years ago, there lived two woodcutters, Rahim and Rahman in a village. They went out every    36    to cut fire wood. After cutting wood. They would sit down and   37    their lunch from their boxes. Next they would   38    the firewood till the end of the day in the marketplace before going    39   .
One day, they were eating their lunch when Rahim noticed a beggar. The beggar   40    eyed the lunch and said, “I wonder if you can spare a little food for me.” Rahim, who felt   41   for him, was about to give him some of it, but was   42    back by Rahman. “ We   43    hard throughout the morning and   44    enough food for ourselves to see us through the   45    .  So you see we cannot give you any food. But if you   46   , I can lend you my axe and we both will teach you how to cut firewood and sell it. And you’ll have   47    to eat and buy yourself a(n)   48    axe to cut more fire wood. This way, you can   49    a livelihood with dignity (尊严).”
The beggar joined them.   50   , Rahman showed him how to cut firewood. Thereafter they took him to the   51    and told him how to sell it.
At the end of the day, the beggar proudly took the   52    to Rahman to show them his earnings. Rahman took him to buy a new axe. Then the beggar entered an inn (客栈).
After he had gone, Rahman told Rahim, “By teaching him how to   53    his own trade, we have taught him a skill, which will last him a   54   . Now he will hever go hungry again.” As a very famous saying goes, “Don’t give them fish   55    teach them how to catch the fish.”
