One will feel happy when others flatter （奉承）him in his face. It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” to    73  .
A student was going to leave the capital to become an official in a city far away. Before he started, he came to say    74   to his teacher.
“It is not an    75   job to be a good official,” his teacher warned. “You must be strict    76   yourself and never be careless.”
“Don’s worry about me, sir.” the student answered. “I have already    77   one hundred top hats, which will    78   those people quite happy.”
“But we are real gentlemen!    79   could a real gentleman do such a thing?” his teacher was a bit angry. “Never forget    80   I taught you in class!”
“You are always right, sir. I also hate such things. But sir,    81   no one real gentleman like yourself can be seen in the world now,” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.
After hearing this, the teacher was    82  . “What you said is true!”
“Of my one hundred top hats, I have ninety-nine    83   .” the student said to his friend later.
