Once a king got two nice falcons（猎鹰）from his son. He had never seen such
beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train
them to fly.
71 ． several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that
one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the 72 ． was staying on the
branch（树枝） of a tree quietly, just keeping still.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could
to make the other falcon fly. But 73 ． of them succeeded. One day, while the king 74 ． taking
a walk in the forest，an idea came to his mind. Maybe someone 75 ． knew the natural
environment well could solve this problem. He sent 76 ． a farmer who lived in the forest into
his palace to train it at once.
The next morning，the king saw the other falcon 77 ． above in the sky freely. "It is
unbelievable!" shouted the king. “ 78 ． could you make it happen?”
The farmer replied, "It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested".
It is always the same to human beings. We all have “ two flying wings” in our hearts as
79 ． , but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we just for safety and comfort. We
won't realize we can fly so high and freely 80 ． the "branch" we are resting on breaks.
