A .Now pick up the scissors. Hold the paper carefully and cut through it. Keep the small piece of string between you and the scissors, so you do not cut the string.                            

B .“Magic string” is a popular magic trick. You can do this trick for your friends or family. You just need a piece of paper, a piece of string and some scissors. That’s all.

C .Pick up the paper and fold side A down. Now your friends can see side B, but they can’t see side A. Side A is shorter than B, so it does not cover the string. Push the middle of the string up, and fold C up over A. Now most of the string is inside the paper, but a small piece of the string is outside. You can see it but your friends can’t.

D .Put one hand over the paper, and then pull the string out slowly with your other hand. The string is still in one long piece!

E .First, fold the paper so that it is like the paper in the picture. Side A is shorter than side B, but not much shorter. Side C is much shorter than Side B. Show the long piece of string so that people can look at it. Put this piece of string on the paper.

There once was a master who went to India. He had never been there before. When he got there, he saw a lot of f 小题1: . In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive b 小题2:  they can’t grow much as a result of the water situation. He saw a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the c 小题3:  in the shop, not expensive at all.

He went up and asked,“how much per kilo?”“Two rupees.”Two rupees in India is almost

a 小题5:  he ate some of it: Oh, my god! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. He jumped up and down, saying,“Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he s 小题6:  continued to eat! Some people looking at him shook their heads and said,“You’re crazy. Those are chilies (辣椒)! You can’t eat them like that. They’re not fruit!” However, the master said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

You may think that master was s 小题7: , right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things

Even though the suffering experience tells us it won’t w 小题9: , and we know there’s no hope things will change in the future—we still continue just because we’ve devoted money, time, effort and love to it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn’t stop.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it g 小题10:  and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose.
