Question

As he lay on the deathbed, he called the two young men to him     【小題1】    the break of dawn and even before the cock could crow (鳴叫). He then said, “I will leave all my wealth to the one     【小題2】    can best fill this room. It was in this room     【小題3】     I made plans on how to build up my fortune. Not an inch must     【小題4】    (leave) uncovered. As I am getting     【小題5】   (weak) by the hour you both must come back by midnight.” He handed them a small piece of silver and an empty bag to put their purchases in. They both went out and    【小題6】    (hurry) came back with their purchases.     【小題7】    (bring) the straw, the elder began to spread it about the floor,    【小題8】     far from filling the room. It did not even cover half the space. “This is no use, son,” said the father, “and let me see how    【小題9】     brother fills the room.” The younger son took     【小題10】    his bag a large candle, set it on the table in the centre of the room and lit it. A brilliant bright light filled up the whole room. The father was delighted and exclaimed, “Son, I am sure you will use the wealth well.”
