Let everyone take a warning: be especially careful when interpreting dreams, and the dreamer should not have negative psychological feelings.
In order to please the king, the courtiers called a certain B and asked him to interpret the dream for the king. When a certain B sees the tragic end of a certain A, he is naturally very cautious. After listening to the king's dream, he even said with a big smile: "Congratulations to your Majesty! The king is a man who outlives all your good friends. Here, I wish the king a longer life than Nanshan and happiness like the East China Sea! "
