Long time ago, there was a contented king called Claudio, who never seemed to be sad and upset. All the people that ever met him thought everything was 1 in his world. No one knew the reason of the king's happiness was from his evening 2. Every night, the chef prepared king's favorite food—pizza for him.
A musician tried to please the king. Since he failed to do so with his playing, he tried 3 way. He said, "My daughter can turn animals into clothing." The king didn't respond.
The musician continued, "She can change 4 into diamond."
"Now, that is the best 5 to my ears. I shall see this girl's 6 for myself tomorrow!" Immediately, King Claudio asked his servants to 7 every tree in the country.
Early the next morning, the King told the girl, "8 by tomorrow morning you have not changed wood into diamond, you shall die."
On the third day, the king saw the diamond in surprise. Greed (贪婪) 9 in his heart. "This girl can do everything!" he thought. So he asked people to gather all the water and let the girl turn the water into silver.
At daybreak of the fourth day, the king got lots of silver. He then ordered his servants to get all the wheat. "If you can change this wheat into gold," he 10 the girl, "I shall set you free."
Sure enough, the girl made it for the third time. Then she ran away as 11 as she could, wondering what would happen later.
On the evening of that day, King Claudio could hardly wait for his 12 dinner. Instead, the chef said, "I'm 13. Your Highness. But you used up all the trees that I needed for the oven fire. You used up all the water and wheat that I needed to 14 the pizza. There can be no more pizza!
King Claudio, in spite of his gold, silver, and diamond, did not 15 a smile on his face ever after.
