“ Sir ,” the boy finally said , “      I be learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know , but this is the only move you’ll      need to know ,” the teacher replied. Not quite understanding ,    believing in his teacher , the boy kept training.

Several months later , the teacher took the boy to his first tournament (锦标赛) . Surprising      , the boy easily won his first three matches. Still      by his success , the boy was now in the finals .

This       , his opponent (对手) was bigger , stronger , and more experienced . For a while , the boy      to be in the disadvantage . Concerned that the boy might      , the judge called a time-out .

On the way home , the boy gathered       to ask the teacher what was really      his mind. “ Sir , how did I win the tournament with only one move ?”

“ You won for two reasons,” the teacher answered . “ First , you’ve almost       one of the most difficult throws in all judo.
