Question

【题目】

He was king for 72 years. France became a powerful country with Louis as king. But Louis lived a life of luxury（奢侈）, which made people angry.

Louis built a huge palace at Versailles，near Paris. It took 40 years to finish it At once time，36，000 people worked on building the palace. The palace cost so much money that Louis did not let people talk about it. The garden of the palace had 1，400 fountains. The fountains used a lot of water so they worked for only three hours at a time.

The fountains used water, but Louis did not! He hated to wash. He took only three baths in his life. He washed only one part—the tip of the nose. Everyone in the palace had to do what the king did so people washed only their noses!

Louis had problems sleeping. People say that he had 143 beds. He went from one bed to another until he fell asleep. But he had a good appetite. A normal dinner for Louis was four bowls of soup. two whole chickens, ham, lamb, a salad, cake fruit, and hard—boiled eggs. He also drank a lot of champagne because his doctor told him to.
