Joseph Webb always loved to show off how many friends he had at school. One day his grandfather said, “Joseph, I bet（打赌）you don’t have as many friends as you think. I’m sure many of them are nothing more than companions（伙伴）.”

Joseph accepted the bet at once and asked his grandfather how to test whether his classmates were real friends or not. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then he left and returned soon as if he was carrying something in his hands, but Joseph could see nothing there.

“Take it. It’s a special chair because it’s impossible to be seen. It’s rather difficult to sit on it, but if you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you’ll find its magic and it’ll be able to tell who are your real friends.”

Joseph set off for school with the strange and invisible chair. At break time, he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with the chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Joseph tried to sit on the chair but he missed the seat and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone around him laughed.

“Wait! Let me try again,” Joseph said. But again, he missed the seat. Joseph didn’t give up and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling to the ground until suddenly he tried again but didn’t fall. Looking around, Joseph saw three of his best friends holding him up. However, many others he had thought of as friends did nothing but make fun of him.

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（训鹰人）to train     1     to fly.

After several months, the king came to see how the     2     was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying on the branch（树枝）of a tree     3    , just keeping still.

The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could     4     the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day,     5     the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came into his mind. Maybe someone     6    , knew the natural environment well could solve this problem. He sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.

The next morning, the king was     7     to see the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. “It’s unbelievable!”    8     the king. “How could you make it happen?”

The farmer replied, “It’s very easy. The branch the falcon rested on     9     off last night.”

It is always the same to human beings. We all have “two flying     10     ” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just for safety and comfort. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.
