　　A young man went to visit a wise man living deep in the mountain for the wisdom of life.

　　"Excuse me! Could you please tell me what the most 1 day in our lives is? Is it the day when we were born or the day we 2 ? Is it the day when we fall in love or the day we succeed?" The young man asked.

　　" 3 . The most important day in our lives is today." The wise man replied calmly.

　　"Why?" The young man felt more than 4 . "Is it because there is a moving event taking place today?"

　　"No. Nothing has happened today."

　　"Is it because of my visit?"
