Realizing how much was owed(欠) the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, “Who helped me?”

“It was Time,” Knowledge answered.

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom(智慧) and answered, “Because only Time is able to understand how valuable Love is.”

Once upon a time there lived in Germany two brothers named Jacob Grim and William Grim. They liked to listen to old stories and then wrote them down. Then they had enough stories to make a book. You can guess the n   1.   of their book! It is Grimms’ Fairy Tales (《格林童話》)

The story of this little book began when the brothers were still at school. And it started w   2.  a good teacher. This teacher liked to find out how things happened. S   3.   the two brothers were doing the same thing. They asked questions and then looked for a  4.   to them.

Among the q   5.    the brothers asked were. “Who made up the old fairy tales?” “Who first told about Cinderella (灰姑娘)?” “Who made up the story of Snow White and the story of Sleeping Beauty?”

They found that no one knew the answers to such questions. The tales were made up in very early times. Most of them were made up in days before people knew h  6.   to write. People told the stories to one another and to their children. But only few still r   7.   them. “When these old people die, the stories will d   8.   with them.” said the brothers. We must write d   9.   all the stories we can find.”

Jacob and William hunted for stories for five years. At last they had 89 tales. Just before Christmas in 1812 and first book was published.

People loved the book! They asked for more fairy stories. So the two brothers published two m 10.   books. In all, they collected 210 stories to put into their books.

 

Once upon a time there lived an old man. He had three sons. One day, he called them together and said, "Sons, I will die soon. To my oldest son I give half my camels, to my second, one-third(三分之一), and to my youngest, one-ninth (九分之一)." Soon after that he died.
Now, the old man had seventeen camels, and the three brothers didn’t know how to do as their father said. They thought a long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some of the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father. At last they went to their father’s old friend and asked for his advice. As soon as he heard their story, he said, "I will help you. I was a good friend of your father’s. I am old. I have only one camel, but take it-it is yours."
The three sons thanked the old man and took his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished, The oldest took half- that was nine camels; the second took one-third, that was six; and the youngest took one-ninth, that was two.
After each had got his camels, they found that there was still a camel there. So, to show their thanks to their father’s friend, they gave the camel back to him.
