A little boy once found a jar（罐子） of nuts（果仁） on the table．"I'd like some of these nuts，"he thought．"I'm sure mother will give them to me（41）　　she is here．I want some to eat now．"So he（42）　　the jar．As he was very hungry，he grabbed as （43）　　as he could hold．

But when he tried to pull his （44）　　out，he found the neck of the jar was too （45）　　．His hand was held fast，but he did not want to （46）　　any of the nuts．He （47）_____again and again，but he couldn't get the whole handful out all the time．（48）　　 he began to cry．

Just then his mother came into the room．"What's the matter？"she asked．"I can't take this handful of nuts （49）　　the jar，"sobbed the boy．"Well，don't be so greedy，"his mother replied．"Just take two or three，and you'll have no trouble （50）　　your hand out．""How （51）　　that was，"said the boy as he moved his hand off（52）　　．"I might have thought of that （53）　　．"

The story tells us that a man can't be so greedy，maybe thing will go to a/an．（54）　　side if we

want to finish a thing in one time．Do thing step by step! This is the best（55）　　to success．Only

like that can we go further．
