Once upon a time,there lived a clever man in Xinjiang. His name was Arfanti. The king of his country was very bad. The people lived an unhappy life. But they couldn't talk more about that. Because if the king knew their complaints (抱怨) ,he would kill them. But Arfanti wasn't afraid of the king. He often rode his donkey (驴) and walked around. And he complained about the king all the time. Then the king knew about it and sent for Arfanti. He said to Arfanti, "I hear that you are very clever. I will ask you some questions,if you can't answer them,I will kill you!”Arfanti answered, "Just do it!”
"How many stars are there in the sky?" the king asked.
"The stars as many as your beards (胡须) ”, Arfanti answered quietly.
"Then,how many hairs does my beard have?" Arfanti thought for a while and took his donkey's tail. He pointed at the king's beard and said, "Your beard has as many hairs as my donkey's tail. If you don't believe (相信) it you can count them."
