    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.”
