Long long ago, there was a king. He loved animals very much. One day, he got 1 nice falcons from his son. He had never seen such 2 falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer(隼训练者) to 3 them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see 4 the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while 5 was staying on the branch of a tree quietly.

The farmer replied, “It is very 12. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. It had no place to rest. Then it had to 13.”
