阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
Long long ago, there was a king. He loved animals very much. One day he got
1
nice falcons(隼) from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer(训练隼者) to train them to fly.
After several months, the king came to see
2
the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while
3
was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly.
The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to
4
every way they could to make the other falcon fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his
5
. Maybe someone who knew the natural environment well could

this problem. Then he invited a
7
who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.
The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying in the sky freely. He felt very surprised.
“It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you
8
it happen?”
The farmer replied, “It is very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested. It had no place to rest. Then it had to
9
.”

10
and comfortable. We won’t realize we can fly so high and freely until the branches we are resting on break. Do you think so?
