An old villager led other villagers carrying salt to a town to sell it and to buy food for the winter. One night they camped on a mountain. The old villager 1 took (take) out some salt and threw it into the campfire, to foretell the changes of weather in the mountains.
The other 2 villagers (villager) waited for the old man’s weather report: if the salt in the fire produced a crackling sound, they would have good weather; if there 3 was (be) no sound, it then meant a storm would come at any moment.
The salt in the campfire didn’t make 4 any (some) sounds at all. The old man asked the whole team 5 to set (set) out at once after daybreak. A young man in the group, however, said that they should not set out in such a hurry because he thought foretelling the weather by 6 using (use) salt was silly.
It was not until the next afternoon that the young man caught up on the wisdom of the old man when the weather 7 suddenly (sudden) changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm coming.
In fact, modern science could explain 8 well (good) the way used by the old villager: whether or not salt produces sounds in a campfire 9 depends (depend) on air humidity. When a storm is coming, the wet salt blocks 10 won't make (not make) any sounds in the fire because of high humidity.
Young people often look down upon the philosophy of the old. However, some belief in life is just like salt from the sea. It carries great memories of the sea.
