The minister walked up to the house and spoke to the old lady. “I want to buy your house,” he said. “I am 6. (luck) to live near the palace, sir. But my house is more expensive to me than my life,” the old lady said.

Soon the thing was taken to the king. He thought for a while and then said, “Let the lady have her house instead of 9. (buy) it. 10. (remember) that something ugly to us may be valuable(有价值的) to someone else.”

1. to build
2. few
3. brought
4. suddenly
5. belongs
6. lucky
7. her
8. to sell
9. buying
10. Remember

本题考查七年级英语的词形转换，结合固定搭配、时态、词性用法逐一分析：
1. 考查固定搭配decide to do sth.（决定做某事），因此填动词不定式形式to build。
2. 考查固定短语a few（一些，修饰可数名词复数），因此填few。
3. 考查一般过去时，全文讲述过去的故事，bring的过去式为brought。
4. 考查副词用法，此处需要副词修饰整个句子，sudden的副词形式是suddenly，意为“突然地”。
5. 考查一般现在时和主谓一致，直接引语中描述客观事实，主语it是第三人称单数，belong的第三人称单数形式为belongs。
6. 考查形容词作表语，be动词am后接形容词，luck的形容词形式是lucky，意为“幸运的”。
7. 考查形容词性物主代词，后面有名词house，需要用she对应的形容词性物主代词her修饰名词。
8. 考查固定搭配agree to do sth.（同意做某事），因此填动词不定式to sell。
9. 考查非谓语动词，介词短语instead of后接动名词形式，buy的动名词为buying。
10. 考查祈使句，祈使句以动词原形开头，因此填Remember。

In a magical forest, there lived a kind nine-coloured deer. Its fur shone like a rainbow, and all the animals loved it. One sunny morning, the deer heard cries for help. A man fell into a river! The deer jumped into the river at once and swam to him. It saved him.
The man was very thankful and promised, “I’ll never tell anyone about you!” The deer smiled and went into the trees.
But soon, the king’s wife of a nearby kingdom dreamed of a deer with wonderful fur. “I must have its coat!” she said. The king promised much money to anyone if they could find it. When the greedy（贪婪的） man heard this, he broke his promise and rushed to the king.
The man showed the way to find the deer. When the deer saw the man, it said sadly, “I saved your life. Why did you lie to me?” The king was angry when he knew the man’s lie. He shouted, “Let the deer go! We must respect the deer’s kindness!” He taught the man a lesson and tried to keep the forest safe.
The nine-coloured deer lived happily in the forest again.
