In fact, sometimes the king could not stop talking.      The wise man thought, "I must   2   the king talk less. But how?"      There was a lake not   3   from the palace. A tortoise and two birds lived near the lake, and they were   4    good friends. One day, the birds said to the tortoise, "  5   are going to a beautiful mountain tomorrow.   6   you like to come with us?"      The tortoise answered, "  7   can I go with you?

You're very   8  , "said the exited tortoise.      "Bite on (咬住) the stick,and don't   9  . If you open your mouth, you'll fall," the birds said.      The next day, the king and the wise man saw the two  10  in the sky. "Look!" said the king. "Those birds are carrying  11 !
