The moneylender then told them that he would put a small
____ stone and a small white stone into an empty bag. The girl would have to

_____ and her father’s debt (債務) would be let go. If she picked the white stone, she didn’t need to marry him and her father’s debt would

As they talked, the moneylender picked up two stones. As he did that, the girl
____that he had put two black stones in the bag. He then asked the girl to pick her stone from the bag.
The girl thought for a while and then had an idea. She put her hand into the bag and took out a stone.
looking at it, she let it fall onto the path where it
became lost among all the other stones. “ Oh how
I was！” She said, “But never
