One will feel happy when others flatter( 奉承) him in his face. It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” 31 .
A student was going to leave the capital to become 32 official (官員) in a city far away. Before he started, he came to say 33 to his teacher.
“It is 34 job to be a good official.” his teacher said. “ you must be strict 35 yourself and never be careless.”
“Don’t worry about me, sir.” The student answered. “I have already 36 anyone hundred top hats, which will 37 those people quite happy.”
“But we are really gentlemen! 38 could a real gentleman do such a thing ? ” His teacher was a bit _39 . “ Never forget 40 I taught you in class!”
“ 41 are always right, sir. I also hate such things. But, sir, 42 no one really gentleman like you can be seen in the world now.” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.
43 hearing this, the teacher was pleased. “What you said is true!”
“I have 44 one top hat already. Now I have ninety-nine 45 .” the student said to his friend later on when he asked the student what he had talked with the teacher about.
