Whenever the king came to inspect（视察）his army and talked to the soldiers, he always asked the same three questions, “How old are you? How long have you been in my army? Are your parents still alive（活着）?” The officers always made sure that all the soldiers knew the right answers to these questions.

One day the king was inspecting some of his soldiers. He walked down the lines, stopping here and there to speak to one of the men. He stopped in front of the foreign soldiers. This man couldn’t speak English, but he knew by heart(记在心中) the answers to the king’s three questions.

“ How long have been in my army?”

“ Twenty-three years,” said the soldier.

The king seemed surprised，（惊讶的）“And how old are you?”

“ Six months, sir,” was the reply.

The king began to get angry, “ One of us must be mad（疯的）,” he said. “Is it you or me?”

“ Both（两个都）, sir,” said the soldier.
