But try as he might he could not make out any of it apart from one paragraph 19 that on the Black Sea shores existed a pebble(鹅卵石) that could turn anything into gold.This pebble,some 20 said,unlike all the others,was warm to touch.Suddenly a strong 21 struck deep roots in his mind that he would go to 22 the shores for the pebble,and so he did.
From dawn to dusk he would pick up pebbles and 23 them.To ensure he did not pick the same pebble twice,he would throw every picked pebble far out into the sea.
Searches 24 days,weeks and then months.A year passed and then another, 25 every pebble he picked up was as cold as ice and he cast them away as 26 as he picked them.Now he had become so 27 at it that he could pick up a pebble and cast it with one 28 action.
At last he was bored with such 29 searches and nearly disappointed,doubting whether there was really such a pebble.
One evening as he was 30 his worn-out legs,leaving the beach after a whole day’s aimless search,he saw a 31 pebble in front of him.”This will be the last one!”said the man hopelessly.With a sigh he 32 and picked it up with his spent hand.Not until he gathered all his
33 and threw it farther into the sea did he 34 that it was warm and even a little 35 ,but it was too late.

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother’s Day,on the second Sunday in May,and Father’s Day,on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens.They give love and care.These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.

Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important,but it is “the thought that counts”.
