The fly answered, “I am __16__ in whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses, and __17__ that happens around me, pull me in all directions and I cannot resist（抵抗）them. What is your __18__? How can you stay so calm and still?”

The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not __19__ me. I am in control of myself—my senses do not tell me __20__ to do. This helps me stay focused on whatever I do, and so, keep my mind calm and still. Now that I am eating, I am __21__ enjoying eating. In this way, I can just focus on enjoying my food.”

After __22__ these words, the fly's eyes opened wide and a smile appeared on his face. He looked at the elephant and said, “I understand! I will always be restless __23__ I let my senses control me. On the other hand, if I try to use some self - control, my mind will become __24__ and I'll be able to stay still.”
