A rich land owner decided to leave possessions to one of his two sons. As he lay on the deathbed, he called the two young men to him before      break of dawn and even before the cock could crow. He then said, “I will leave all my earth to the one    can best fill this room. It was in this room       I made plans on how to build up my fortune. Not an inch must     (leave) uncovered. As I am getting      (weak) by the hour you both must come back by midnight.” He handed them a small piece of silver and an empty bag to put their purchases in. They both went out and      (hurry) came back with their purchases.    (bring) the straw, the elder began to spread it around the floor,       far from filling the room. It did not even cover half the space. “This is no use, son,” said the father, “and let me see how    brother fills the room.” The younger son took out of his bag a large candle,  (set) it on the table in the center of the room and lit it. A brilliant bright light filled up the whole room. The father was delighted and exclaimed, “Son, I am sure you will use the wealth well.”
