問題詳情：

Once when there was a famine (饑荒), a rich baker sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town, and said to them, “In this basket, there is a loaf (一條麪包) for each of you. 51 it, and come back to me every 52 at this hour till better times come.”

The hungry children 53 eagerly around the basket, and quarreled for the bread, 54 each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even 55 the good gentleman. But Gretchen, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not 56 or struggle with the rest, but remained 57 modestly in the distance. When the ill-behaved children had left, she took the 58 loaf, which alone was left in the basket, 59 the gentleman's hand, and went home.

The next day the children were as 60 as before, and poor, shy Gretchen received a loaf only nearly half the 61 of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the 62 open, and then many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very much 63 , and said, “Take the money back to the good 64 at once, for it must have got into the loaf 65 . Be quick, Gretchen! Be quick!”

But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's 66 , he said, “No, no, my child, it was no 67 . I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to 68 you. Always be as contented (滿足的), peaceable, and 69 as you now are. Go home now, and the 70 is your own.”
