A wise man was visiting the Ganges, a river which flows through northern India, to take a bath. He found a group of family members on the  16 ， shouting angrily at each other.He  17 his disciples (弟子), smiled and asked, “Why do people shout in  18  at each other？”The disciples 19  for a while and one of them said, “Because we   20   our calm, we shout.”“But, why should you shout  21  the other person is just next to you? You can as well tell him what you have to say in a(n)  22    manner，” asked the wise man. Some disciples gave some other answers, but none  23  the other disciples. Finally the wise man explained, “When two people are angry at each other, there is a distance between their 24   . To cover that distance they must shout to be able to  25  each other. The angrier they are, the louder they will have to shout to 26  that great distance. What 27  when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very  28   . The distance between them is either nonexistent (不存在的) or very small.”
The wise man  29 ，“When they love each other even more, they do not  30 ， but only whisper and they get even closer to each other. Finally they 31  need not whisper. They only look at each other and that's  32 . That is how close two people are when they love each other.”
He looked at his disciples and said, “So when you  33 ， do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance each other more.  34  there will come a day when the distance is so great that you'll not find the path to  35 . You may end up becoming enemies, for instance.”
