Under a big tree he happened to hear a pig and a cow   45.   The pig   46  to the cow, “Why everyone likes you and nobody likes me? After I die. I provide people with pork, ham, etc. I give three or four things to them. But you give    47  one thing—milk. Why do people like you all the time and not me?”
The cow said, “Look, I give them milk while I’m   48 . They see that I’m generous(慷慨的) with what I have. But you don’t give them anything before you die.
