After some time, the farmer realized his mistake and wanted to 2 his words back but he didn't know 3 to do. Just then, he got to know that a wise man was 4 his village. So, he decided to go to the wise man and ask for 5.
He went to the wise man and told him 6. He asked the wise man to tell him a 7 to take his words back. The wise man said to the farmer, “First, go and collect a lot of feathers in a(n) 8 basket and then keep them in the middle of the village and go home.”
The farmer did as he was told and the next day he went to see the wise man again.
The wise man said, “Now go and bring those feathers to me.” The farmer went to get those feathers, but when he got there, all the feathers had flown away because of 9.
The farmer returned to the wise man with his hands 10 and told him, “I couldn't bring back those feathers because there were none left in the 11. They were all blown away by wind.”
The wise man told him, “The same thing 12 to the words spoken by you. You can 13 say them but cannot take them back even if you want to. Before 14 something bad to someone in anger, you should always remember that your words cannot be taken back. Therefore, it is better to 15 silent(安静的) in the situation.”
Words can hurt others too. So always think before you speak.

### 六、完形填空
从前,有个农夫和他的邻居发生了争执。在争执过程中,农夫非常生气,他对邻居说了很多难听且无礼的话。
过了一段时间,农夫意识到了自己的错误,想要收回自己的话,但他不知道该怎么做。就在这时,他得知一位智者正在访问他的村庄。于是,他决定去找这位智者并寻求帮助。
他找到智者,把一切都告诉了他。他请求智者告诉他一个收回自己话语的方法。智者对农夫说:“首先,去用一个开口的篮子收集很多羽毛,然后把它们放在村子中央,之后回家。”
农夫照做了,第二天他又去见智者。
智者说:“现在去把那些羽毛给我拿来。”农夫去取那些羽毛,但当他到达那里时,所有的羽毛都因为风而飞走了。
农夫空着手回到智者那里,告诉他:“我没法把那些羽毛带回来,因为村子里一根羽毛都没有了。它们都被风吹走了。”
智者告诉他:“你说的话也是如此。你可以轻易地说出它们,但即使你想收回也收不回来。在生气时对别人说不好的话之前,你应该始终记住,你的话是收不回来的。因此,在这种情况下保持沉默会更好。”
