There once lived a young man who was always unhappy and complained about his poverty. One day,
he went to see a fortune teller to inquire how to become __1__. The fortune teller said, "Young man, you
are already wealthy now."
"Where is my wealth?" the young man asked__2__.
"It is with you. Your __3__ is (are) your wealth. You use them to see this world. You use them to see
all the __4__ things in this world. You can read, study and learn. Your hands are your wealth. You can use
them to work. You can use them to hug your beloved ones. Your __5__ are your wealth. You can go to
any places. . . " the fortune teller said.
"You call these wealth? Everyone has them, " the young man said.
"These are wealth. What you have now are not what others can luckily have. Are you __6__ to give your eyes to me? I am willing to give you a lot of money to __7__ for them, " the fortune teller said.
"No, are you crazy?I am not going to exchange my eyes for money! They are __8__ to me!" the young man __9__.
"Precisely, these are wealth to you. You will not exchange them for money. Furthermore, although a lot
of people have their wealthy things, they do not __10__them or treasure them. They are not __11__ to
Heaven for giving them their wealth. They even complain that Heaven is unfair to them. Do you want to
__12__ one of them before you will treasure them?" the fortune teller said.
Everyone is wealthy. But we should not __13__ it for granted. We need to treasure our wealth, take
