The story tell us about the British writer, Richard Savage. He was once living in London with   1  money in his pockets. In order to get some food and clothes, he wrote the story of his life and managed to have it published. But not many copies of his books were   2  in the shops, and he was still living a hard life. Because of anxiety(憂慮)and malnutrition(營養(yǎng)不良)， he became very weak and before long he fell  3 , and a doctor was sent for. The doctor was not rich enough, but was  4  literature. He tried his best to cure Savage of his illness and a week later Savage was out of danger. When he finally recovered(重新獲得) his  5 , the doctor sent a bill to Savage for his  6  , but poor Savage had no money to pay it. The doctor waited for a month and sent another bill. Receiving no money again, the doctor went to Savage himself.

"You know you owe(欠) your life to me," said the doctor, "and I should  7 some thankfulness from you."

"I agree," said the writer, " you've done a great favour(恩惠) for me and if I'm not ungrateful for your kindness, I'll damage(損壞) my life to you."

With these words he handed the doctor two copies of The Life of Richard Savage.

The doctor took the books home and began to _ 8  them carefully.

"I see I've  9 the life of a great writer," the doctor said to himself with a sense of pride,  Maybe this is the only thing I could be really   10 of in my life."

Five years later Savage called on the doctor to pay his bill, only to find that the doctor had already passed away .

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷倉), they found a mouse hole in a corner and they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had ran away. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(擠)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.

Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.

After seeing what happened, everyone was silent and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.

One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard." The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!"

A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it meaningful.

A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.

At that moment, one Chinese asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"

Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and didn't say any words. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shyness, and did not dare to answer.

In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠誠) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
