Help the King !

Many years ago there lived a kind-hearted king. The king spent days in his bed. He always ate and slept. He became very fat and the people started to worry about him.

One day he realized that he couldn't move his feet. He invited (遨请) doctors from all across his country and gave them thousands of money to make him fit. But none could help the king with his health and fitness. The king was very nice so many people suggested famous doctors to help him. He spent lots of money but nothing seemed to work.

One fine morning, a man named Rishi told the minister(大臣) he could easily make the king healthy again. The king was very happy and wanted to meet him. The king couldn't move his body so he asked the minister to bring Rishi to his palace(宫殿). Rishi lived in a far place and refused(拒绝) to go to the king's palace. This made the king angry, but he knew he had to try.

The king tried his best to meet Rishi. Rishi said he was a good king and he would soon be healthy again. He asked the king to come for treatment every day. He told the king he would treat him only if he came on foot to his place.

The king was unable to walk even a few steps on the road but he worked hard with the help of his followers. He reached Rishi's place. Unluckily Rishi was not there so the king only met him the next day for treatment. For two weeks the king went there every day but he never met Rishi.

Mobile Phone Rules

What do you do in a situation(惰况) like this?

You're eating dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You're having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly with his friend. He talks for almost ten minutes. This happens all the time-on buses, in restaurants, everywhere!

When someone next to you talks too loudly on a mobile phone, you may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation.

Mobile phones are useful in our daily life but people should know some rules to use them. Here are a few rules.

Respect the rules of the public places ! If you see the words "turn off cell phones", in the restaurants and other public places, don't use your mobile phone.

Keep private(秘人的) conversations private! Speak softly and for a short time. Try to move away from other people.

Pay attention ! Talking on a mobile phone is dangerous while driving. And watch where you're going when you're walking down the street and talking on the phone.
