did you see the garden that took the master gardener ten years to create?” the boy was embarrassed, and replied that he had observed nothing. his only concern had been not to spill the oil.“then go back and observe the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. the boypicked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace. this time he observed all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. when he returned, he described in detail everything he had seen.“but where are the drops of oil?” asked the wise man. looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.“well, there is only one piece of advice i can give you,” said the wise man. “the secret of happiness is to see all the wonders of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.”25.when the boy arrived at the castle, he .a.received a warm welcome from the wise manb.had already missed his chance to talk to the wise manc.was shown around the palace by the local people d.didnt expect to see so many people around26. the wise man gave the boy two tasks in order to .a.show him how to observe the wonders in the worldb.teach him the secret of happiness c.make him learn from his mistakesd.let the boy enjoy his palace and garden27.we can infer from the article that “the drops of the oil on the spoon” probably refer to .a.the beauty of ones nature b.the fortune a person possessesc.the responsibilities one has to take on d. the great opportunities in life28.what would be the best title for the article?
