Long ago, in a far-away place, an old tribal chief found himself terminally ill.

　　So he called three most promising young villagers to his bedside and said, “As I　1　(leave)you soon, I hope you can do one more thing for me. Young men, you three are all　2　(usual)strong and resourceful, so I’d like you to strive to climb that high mountain we have always been worshiping　3　a sacred place. Try to reach the top and then turn back to tell me about your findings.

　　Three days later, the first young man returned smartly dressed and said　4　(smile), “Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop　5　I saw flowers of all sorts, spring water and singing birds.

　　That’s a real nice place. ”

　　The old tribal chief replied with a smile, “Son, I’ve been there before. It’s not the mountaintop　6　the foot of the mountain. You can leave now. ”

　　A week later, the second young man also returned. “Lord, I’ve been to the mountaintop　7　a forest of tall pine trees and vultures circling in the air. That’s a really nice place. ”

　　“What a pity! ”said the chief. “Son, you’ve been halfway up the mountain rather than to the summit. Now you can leave. ”

　　A month later, the third young man showed up in rags, his hair off-colored but his eyes clear and bright.

　　“Lord, I succeeded in reaching the summit. There was nothing there but the highland wind and the blue sky　8　(hang)over the land. ”
