A young man presented himself to the local expert on gems and said he wanted to learn from him and become    61    expert on gems, too. The expert refused to teach him because he feared that the youth would not have the    62   (patient) to learn. The young man asked for a chance. Finally the expert agreed and told the youth, “Be here tomorrow.”

The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the youth’s hand and asked him to do the same thing. On the third, fourth, and   65  (five) day the expert repeated the exercise and the instructions

On the sixth day the youth held the jade stone, but could no longer stand the silence. “Master,” he asked, “when am I going to learn something?”

“You’ll learn,” the expert    66   (reply) and then occupied himself   67    his own business.

Several more days went by and the youth felt deeply   68  (depress). One morning as the expert approached and signed to him to hold out his hand, he was about to say that he couldn’t go on any longer.    69   as the master placed the stone in the youth’s hand, the young man exclaimed without looking at his hand, “This is not the same jade stone!”

“You    70   (begin) to learn,” said the master.
