He filled his leather container so that he could bring some back to an elder 【小题2】 had been his teacher. After a four-day journey, the young man 【小题3】 ( present ) the water to the old man. His teacher took a deep drink, smiled 【小题4】 ( warm ), and thanked his student very much for the sweet water. The young man went home 【小题5】 a happy heart.
After the student left, the teacher let 【小题6】 student taste the water. He spit it out, 【小题7】 (say) it was awful. Apparently, it was no longer fresh because of the old leather container.
