       Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had   41   been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite   42    because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he     43    a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all.    44     the man walked up to the counter and asked: “How     45      per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said: “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is     46    . The man thought to himself: “What a     47    !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to    48    it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned     49     . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath. 
      But despite his   50     , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers     51      their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re    52  , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment ( 佐料 ). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t     53   ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
      You probably think this man was pretty     54   , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same    55      on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it’s not    56     , and they know there’s little hope of improvement, they still  57       because they don’t want to waste the initial investment. But this is    58   . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them.
       Losing something is difficult, but it is important to     59     the loss and move on.    60      you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.
