A father was 1 ill and dying. One day, he said to his son, "Here is a 2 your grandfather gave me. It is almost 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the pawnshop (典当铺) in the city. Tell them I want to 3 it, and see how much they offer you. " The son went to the pawnshop, came back to his father, and said, "It took the owner a few minutes to 4 the watch. He found there were some scratches (划痕) on it, so he only offered $20. "
The father said, "Well, try the watch store. " The son went there, came back to his father, and said, "The store offered only $ 100 because it is 5 . " The father asked his son to go to the antique (古董) shop and show them the watch. The son couldn't understand the 6 , but still, he was willing to act on his father's last wish. This time, the offer 7 him a lot. After he came back, he told his father in 8 that the manager of the shop offered $375, 000. "
The father explained, "I wanted to show you that the right place will 9 you in the right way. Don't find yourself in the wrong place and get 10 because you are not valued. Never stay in a place where someone doesn't see your value. "
