    The hungry children came together3 ， and argued for the bread，because each wished to have the largest one．Finally they went away without even thanking the good gentleman．

    But Gretchen，a poorly﹣dressed little girl，did not argue or 4with the rest，but remained standing quietly far away from them．5the bad﹣mannered girls left，she took the smallest bread，which alone was left in the basket，kissed the gentleman's hand，and went home．

    The next day the children were as bad﹣mannered as before，and poor，shy Gretchen 6loaf hardly the size of the one she got the first day．When she came home，her mother cut the loaf open．Many new shining pieces of 7fell out of it．

    I could not understand what he was doing at first，then I was very angry．Though I was very anrgy，I controlled my anger．

    A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy．"What are you doing right here，right now？"she said．"You will never ace your mom again if you keep doing this．Now say sorry!""Sorry．"he cried fearfully and nervously．I said noting，but I realized something about this child．After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child's parents．
