Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from persia to India on foot. He had 41 been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite 42 because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he 43 a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all. 44 the man walked up to the counter and asked: “How 45 per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said: “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is 46 . The man thought to himself: “What a 47 !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to 48 it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned 49 . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath. But despite his 50 , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers 51 their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re 52 , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment ( 佐料 ). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t 53 ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!” You probably think this man was pretty 54 , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same 55 on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it’s not 56 , and they know there’s little hope of improvement, they still 57 because they don’t want to waste the initial investment. But this is 58 . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them. Losing something is difficult, but it is important to 59 the loss and move on. 60 you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.
