Question

A man was bitterly envious of his neighbour．He spent long hours in prayer，wanting to be      to his neighbour in every aspect of life．

One night，God appeared before him in a dream and said，“I am pleased with your     ．Ask for a gift．      your neighbour will get the same gift in double amount．”

He was glad but sad that his enemy would get a greater gift．He requested，“God，      the sight in one of my eyes．”

With his single eye，he peeped at his neighbour but was       to see his neighbour's sight was not lost! Confused，he       to God，“Why don’t you keep your word?”

God said，“Son，I always keep my word．      is not a gift，but a curse．You have the gift of sight in only one eye now，as asked by you．But your neighbour has sight in both of his eyes．I       the gift．”

He suddenly       from his dream and was sure that it was a message from God．Englightened by the dream，he went to his neighbour and begged his pardon for thinking and acting      him．They embraced each other and were good friends thereafter．
