Long long ago the sky was close to the Earth. Men and women did not have to plant their own food. 31 ,when they were hungry, they just reached 32 and broke off a piece of the sky to eat. Sometimes the sky tasted like ripe bananas while other times it tasted like roasted(烤制的) potatoes. The sky was 33 delicious. Many people in the kingdom did not use the gift of the sky 34 . They took more than they could eat. Some people even threw the 35 pieces into the garbage(垃圾). Early one morning the angry sky turned dark . Black clouds 36 over the land . And a great sky voice said to all the people , “You are 37 my gift of food. Do not take more than you can eat. I don’t want to see pieces of me in the 38 any more, 39 I will take my gift away .” All the people trembled 40 fear. For a long time , they were careful. But at a festival time, one man named Adami took so many delicious pieces of sky 41 he couldn’t eat them all. He knew he must not 42 them away. He tried to give the pieces to his wife . “Here ,wife,” Adami said , “You eat the rest.” “I can’t ,”his wife said, “I’m too 43 .” Adami asked all his children to help him eat the delicious pieces of sky, but the children couldn’t have one more bite. So Adami decided to try to 44 the pieces at the bottom of the garbage pile. Suddenly, the sky became angry and the clouds turned black. “You have wasted my gift of food 45 ”, shouted the sky, “This time I will go away so you cannot waste me any more .” All of the people cried, “ 46 will we eat ?We will starve to death!” The sky said, “you will have to learn how to plant 47 in the ground and 48 in the forests. If you work hard , you may learn not to waste the gifts of nature.” Everyone watched as the sky sailed away. 49 ,they worked hard to grow their food and cook their meals.
