“Dear me, what a terrible trouble it is to me to learn lessons! Here I have one, two — no, not two — but thirty words with meanings to learn. I wish words had no meanings!”
“Well, I 36 I must begin to learn them. P-r-i-s-o-n, prison, that means ‘a place where people are confined(监禁)’. Why don't they say school? That's a prison, I'm sure. P-u-n-i-s-h. I know the meaning of that word 37 the book.”
“Oh, this 38 lesson! I shall never get it. P-l-e-a-s-u-r-e, pleasure, that means ‘that which pleases’. Yes, I know that pleasure means playing ball.”
“I dare say if John Grant, who is 39 boy in my class heard me, he would say pleasure means having a new 40 . Read, read, read ... I hate reading! When I become a man, I'll never 41 a book. Oh, how I wish I were a grown-up now!”
Fifteen years later, the lazy boy becomes a man.
“Yes, I am a man. And now how I wish that I had not been so 42 when I was a boy! I hated my books and took 43 pains to forget my lessons than I ever did to learn them.”
“My father used to say to me, ‘James, do learn your lessons. If you do not, you will be fit for 44 when you become a man.’”
“My 45 said, ‘James, do read your books, or I will be sorry to have you for a son.’”
“Now, there was John Grant: he liked playing well enough, 46 he liked reading better. He learned more out of school hours than I did in them. John Grant is now, like myself, a man, but a very 47 man.”
“I see my mistake now, but it is too 48 . I have no time to read, or for pleasure, for I must work hard with my 49 for my daily bread.”

That's what “idle young, needy old” means.
