Of course, she wasn't really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only ____      to her as "My Aunt Fannie" because it always made my father chuckle and my mother look  ____      at both of us—at me for being _____      of my elder and at my father for _____      my bad behavior. I  ____      both reactions so I grasped every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.
As a young woman, my mother had worked in the _____       of a large Victorian farmhouse owned by Fannie Cratty and her twin brother, Farnsworth. They represented the ____      of the Cratty line. Neither had married  ____      had any living heirs(继承人) and my father once told me in a whisper that it was because they were both too  ____      to share their family wealth. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam ever  ____      by anyone in Glenfield. She was noted for her jam and for never  ____      the recipe with anyone else. ____      my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she ____      made the jam without Ms. Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year, after I had been particularly helpful with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a  ____       and then made me promise that I would never spend it. " ____       this quarter," she said, "and some day you will be rich. I still have my very first quarter given by my grandfather." It had obviously  ____      for her. So I followed her advice.
I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie. In people's eye Aunt Fannie's  ____      was attributed to that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a  ____      recipe. However, I keep them as  ____      to hold firmly the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a ____      that anyone can build.
