One will feel happy when others flatter (奉承)him in his face. It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” to 73 .
A student was going to leave the capital to become an official in a city far away. Before he started, he came to say 74 to his teacher.
“It is not an 75 job to be a good official,” his teacher warned. “You must be strict 76 yourself and never be careless.”
“Don’s worry about me, sir.” the student answered. “I have already 77 one hundred top hats, which will 78 those people quite happy.”
“But we are real gentlemen! 79 could a real gentleman do such a thing?” his teacher was a bit angry. “Never forget 80 I taught you in class!”
“You are always right, sir. I also hate such things. But sir, 81 no one real gentleman like yourself can be seen in the world now,” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.
After hearing this, the teacher was 82 . “What you said is true!”
“Of my one hundred top hats, I have ninety-nine 83 .” the student said to his friend later.
