But when he looked 4       ,he found the sky was 5        clear and bright that he could see lots of stars. Suddenly,he saw some tears were running down the Prince’s golden 6        . “ 7         are you crying?” asked the swallow.

“In a little street,there’s a poor house. From one of the windows,I see a woman 8        at a table. She’s sewing clothes for 9        women to wear. In a bed in the corner of the room,her little boy is sick.

He’s asking for oranges,but his mother has only water to give him,so he is crying. The boy is so thirsty 10        the mother is so sad. Little swallow,will you please take her the 11        from the top of my sword (宝剑) ？”

“It is very cold here and I am leaving for a warm place,but I will stay with you and do as you ask. ” The swallow took the bright red jewel from the Prince’s sword and flew away with it in his mouth. He flew into the woman’s room and 12        it beside the woman’s needle.

13 he flew back,he told the Prince what he had done. “It’s strange ,” he added. “It’s so cold but I feel quite 14        now. ”
