The hungry children         eagerly around the basket, and quarreled for the bread,       each wished to have the largest loaf. At last they went away without even         the good gentleman.
But Gretchen, a poorly-dressed little girl, did not         or struggle with the rest, but remained          modestly in the distance. When the ill-behaved children had left, she took the       loaf, which alone was left in the basket,       the gentleman's hand, and went home.
The next day the children were as 30 as before, and poor, shy Gretchen received a loaf only nearly half the 31 of the one she got the first day. When she came home, her mother cut the _       open, many new, shining pieces of silver fell out of it. Her mother was very much         _, and said, ''Take the money back to the good _       _ at once, for it must have got into the loaf       _. Be quick, Gretchen! Be quick! ''
But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother's _       , he said, ''No, no, my child, it was no _       _. I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to         you. Always be as contented, peaceable, and _       _ as you now are. Go home now, and the         is your own. ''
