Mr. Flower was well-known around for growing the best flowers of the year and his four glass-houses were taken good care of. These glass-houses were close to a public path, which was always used
___36__ children and young people walking to and from
__37__. Boys of about thirteen years of age, especially, were often tempted(嘗試) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flower’s
__38__ . They managed to resist the temptation(抵制誘惑) when Mr. Flower was around, but the temptation often seemed to be too
__39__ when Mr. Flower was
__40__ to be seen. For this reason, Mr. Flower did his best to be
__41__ his glass-houses at the beginning and end of the school days.
However, it was not always possible for him to be on guard at these times. Mr. Flower had tried
__42__ to prevent(阻止) the damage to his glass; but nothing that he had done had been
__43__. He had been to the school to complain(抱怨) to the headmaster, but this had not done any
__44__. He had hidden in the bushes(灌木叢) and
__45__ those boys that threw stones
__46__ his garden, but the boys could run
__47__ faster than he, and they even
__48__ at him at a distance(距離). He had even walked along the path and picked up all those
__49__that he could find so that the boys would have nothing to
__50__, but they soon found others, or threw lumps of earth instead.
Then just as he had given
__51__ hope of winning the battle(戰(zhàn)斗), a truly wonderful
__52__ came up to him. He set up a large notice board made of good strong wood, some meters away from the glass-houses
__53__ it could be clearly seen from the path. On the board he painted the
__54__ : DO NOT THROW AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flower had no
__55__ .The boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice board than at the glass-houses.
