An old man went to India. When he got there, he saw some fruit for sale, but most of it was very cheap. 1. cheapest thing was a basket of red fruit.

“How much per kilo? the old man asked.

“Two rupees(卢比),” the shopkeeper answered. Two rupees in India is almost nothing, so the old man bought a whole kilogram and started eating it.

However, as soon as he started eating, his mouth began to burn, his eyes began to water, and his whole face became as red 2. the fruit. As he coughed and struggled to breathe, he jumped up and down, screaming: “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

And yet he continued to eat the fruit. Some people 3. were looking at him shook their heads and said, “You are crazy! Those are chili peppers (辣椒)! You can’t just eat them by the handful!”

The old man said to 4., “I paid for them, so I must eat them.”

This old man seemed pretty stupid. But are we so much smarter? All of us have spent money and time on something--maybe a relationship, or a business, or a job- -and sometimes, even if we know there’s no hope that things will change, we still continue with it.

What we can learn 5.the old man is this: if you’ve lost a lot over something that doesn’t work, let it go and move on. It’s better than continuing to lose.
