On the last day of the year, the father called his son to him."I'm happy to see that you have worked very hard the whole     ," said the father. "Now, tell me      you want."
The boy smiled and showed his father a big piece of bread made from his wheat (小麦). "I've already got the     present. No pains, no gains. I think this is what you wanted me to     ." His father was quite pleased to hear that.
