A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting( attracting) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,
__36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice,
37, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the
__38__ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe,
_39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest
__40__he was unable to touch it. He began to
__41__ up and down, as high as he could, at the
_42 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of
_43_.
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to
44 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to
45 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking
46 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or,
47 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighbourhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do.
48 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk
49 . At first, he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his
50 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he
51 like this, the more unhappy he became.
52 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t
53 . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad as well. There is
54 more I can do to get the apple— that is unchangeable —but we are supposed to be able to
55 our feelings. If that is the case, what can I do to feel better.
