The King and The BeggarA long time ago there lived a very rich and powerful (有权力的) king. All the people in his kingdom (王国) were afraid of him. But was he happy? No, he was always ill and unhappy. His money and his power could not help him. The doctors in his kingdom could not cure (治愈) him either. He was so angry with them that he cut off their heads.
One day two famous doctors from another kingdom came to his palace.
“If you can cure me and make me happy”, said the king.“I will give you all the gold you can carry.”
The first doctor examined the king. He found nothing wrong with him.
“You are a very healthy man. Your Majesty, ”said the doctor. “You only think you are ill and so make yourself unhappy.”
The king was very angry when he heard this. He told his soldiers to cut off the doctor's head.
The second doctor knew he had to be careful. “O King, you will be well if you wear the shoes of a man who is always happy,”he said. The king was pleased with his answer and thought that the doctor was very wise(有智慧的). He gave the doctor a bag of gold.
The king asked hundreds of people if they were always happy. They all said they were sometimes happy and sometimes sad. At last he met a beggar(乞丐) who said that he was always happy.
“Give me your shoes quickly, ”said the king, “and I will make you a very rich man. ”
The beggar laughed, “I am sorry,”he answered,“I never wear shoes!”

Once there was a clever farmer. Though he was poor, he decided one day to take the king a roast goose (烤鹅) as a present. He had not had 1 to eat that day, and soon the 2 of the roast goose became too much for him as (当…时) he 3 it to the king, so he ate one of its legs. When he came before the king and gave him the goose, the king 4 saw that it had only one leg. Now, the king 5 was born with one bad leg, so he had never been able to 6 properly (正常地). When he saw the goose with only one leg, he thought the farmer had 7 this to laugh at him. Of course he was very 8 . The farmer was told that if anybody laughed at the king, he would be 9 at once. "Where is 10 leg of the goose?" the king asked. "All the geese (goose的复数) in this 11 of the country have one leg only," the farmer answered. "Do you think I'm a fool (傻子)?" the king shouted. " 12 ," said the farmer, "if you look out of the window, you will see geese with one leg by the 13 ." The king looked, and there the geese were 14 on one leg beside the water. The king at once told one of his men to 15 them with a big stick, and of course, they 16 their other legs and ran away. "There," said the king. "You were lying (说谎). That 17 that the geese here have two legs, like all other 18 in the country." "But it doesn't show anything," answered the farmer, "if your men threw a big stick like that at me, I would grow two 19 legs myself to help me to run away 20 ." |
