Long long ago, there was a man whose name was Frank. He loved his  46  very much. A special day was coming. It was his wife’s birthday. Frank decided  47  something for her.

The next day he  48  home and said to his wife, “I bought something  49  you.” “Thank you!” said his wife  50 . “What have you bought for me?” “I’ve bought a gold ring. Here it is.” He took it out for his wife to see. Carelessly, he dropped it onto the ground. He began to look for it on the ground, 51  it was dark in the house and he could not see  52 . Then he went out and began to look for it in the street.

He looked and looked. After a while, a friend came along. “What’s the matter with you?” asked his friend. “I am  53  for my ring. It was for my wife. But I lost it just now.” said the poor man. “  54  did you lose it?” “I lost it in my house.” “You lost your ring in your house, but you are looking for it in the street. How foolish you are!” “Ah,” said the man, “but it is dark in my house. I will never find it there. Anyhow, here in the street, it is much  55 . I can see everything more clearly.” My dear friend, do you think Frank could find his gold ring in the street?
