完形填空。

Once there lived two brothers. The elder was called Simon and the younger Victor. They _____ each other very much, and always took care of one another. Every day they worked from morning _____ night, getting as much gain(谷物) as possible from their fields.

One late autumn evening, after their work in the _____ was done, Simon said to his wife, “Victor got married last month. He has many bills(账单) to pay. I think I will put a bag of rice in his barn(谷仓).” “Oh, that’s a good idea,” said his wife. “But please don’t tell him, ” said Simon, “If he knows I put the rice there, he will _____ take it.”

So, late that night Simon took a bag of rice to Victor’s barn. The next day, when he looked at his own barn, he found _____ strange. “I took a bag of rice to Victor’s house last night, _____ I still have the same number of bags in my barn. _____ did that happen?”

Simon decided to take another bag of rice to his brother’s barn that night. But the next morning, he found the _____ number of bags in his barn again! “This is very strange,” he thought.

That night he _____ again. He carried a large bag of rice on his shoulder(肩膀), and walked down the road to his younger brother’s house. In the bright moonlight, he could see another _____ coming down the road. He was carrying something on his _____ too.

“Young Brother!” Simon cried, “What are you doing?”

“I was _____ you, Older Brother,” said Victor, “Your family is _____ than mine. I thought you needed more rice.” The two brothers quickly _____ that they had been taking rice to each other. They _____ what they had done. “It is good to have a brother like you,” they both said. And they lived happily ever after.
