Question

Mr. Black was over fifty years old. He sometimes made some mistakes in his work, and he lost his work. So he had   41  time every day to do something. Then he often met his old friends under a big tree. They had drinks there and   42  anything they liked.
One day, some old men were sitting together again and talking about young people in this world. They all agreed that the old people were    43  than young people. Then one of the old  44  said that young men were stronger than old men.
  45  of them agreed that this was true,   46  Mr. Black didn’t. He said, “No. I am as strong now as when I was a young man.” His friends were surprised   47  what he said.
“Well,” said Mr. Black, “Near my house there is a big stone. When I was a young man, I used    48  to move it, but I couldn’t because I was not    49 . I am an old man now, and when I try to move it, I still   50 . So, I am as strong as when I was young.”
