The Keeper of the River
An old man had been working for many years for a town£®His job was to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills, which made up the lovely river flowing through the town nearby£®Quietly and 31 , the old man guarded the hills, 32 the leaves and branches, and cleaned up the dirt that would have 33 and polluted the fresh flow of water£®The town soon became a popular attraction for tourists£®Elegant swans £¨Ìì¶ì£© floated along the clear river and the view was so beautiful 34 words£®
Years passed£®One evening the town 35 met£®As they reviewed the budget, one man's 36 caught sight of the salary 37 being paid to the seldom seen keeper of the river£®He asked, "Who is the old man? Why do we 38 to employ him? No one in town ever 39 him£® For all we know, the strange keeper of the hills isn't doing his job£®His position isn't 40 any longer£®" Then they voted to 41 the man£®
For several weeks, nothing changed £®£®£®
By early autumn, the trees began to 42 their leaves£®Small branches broke off and fell into the pools of the hills, 43 the flow of the shining water£®One afternoon, someone noticed a slight yellowish-brown 44 in the river£®A few days later, the water was much 45 . Within another week, an oily something covered some sections of the water along the banks, and a terrible 46 was soon sensed£®Swans left, and so did the 47 . The only thing that was now visiting the village was disease and sickness£®
Quickly , the 48 town committee called a special meeting£®Realising their huge mistake in 49 , they rehired the old keeper of the river again, and within a few weeks, the river began to clear up£®Swans and tourists came back again and new life returned to the small town in the Alps£®
Never ignore the seeming smallness of a task, job, or life£®They may all make a 50 .
