One day, Bruce invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he 61 (find) that he had run out of salt. So Bruce called to his son,“Go to the village and buy some salt,but pay a fair price for it: neither too much 62 too little.”
His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but
63 I can pay less, why not save a bit of money?”
“That would be a very 64 (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Bruce said.
Bruce’s guests, 65 had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Bruce replied,“The only reason 66 a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was very eager for money. And anyone who made use 67 this situation would be showing a lack of respect 68 the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”
“But such a small thing couldn’t possibly destroy a village.”
“In the beginning, there was only 69 very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little,always 70 (think) that it was only small and not very important,and look what the world is like today.”
