Fable story: clever farmers
Once upon a time, there was an emperor who thought he was very clever. He sent a message to the whole country: "I will give half the country to anyone who can say ridiculous things that make me say that he is lying."
A businessman came and said to the emperor, "Long live, I have a sword. Just point to the sky and the stars will fall. "
The emperor said, "What's strange about this? My grandfather's pipe, with a bit in his mouth, can match the sun at one end! " "
The businessman walked away unhappily.
A landlord came and said to the emperor, "Hooray, I wanted to see you yesterday, but lightning cut through the sky and it began to rain." I was in a hurry to make it up, so I came today. Please forgive me! "
The emperor smiled: "Your craft is not good, and there is light rain today!" " "
The landlord also disgruntled.
Finally, a farmer came. He said, "Your Majesty, you promised to marry your daughter to me, and you will marry her with a bucket of gold. Now, is it time to cash in? "
Hearing this, the emperor's face changed greatly, and he was speechless and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he had to marry his daughter to a clever farmer.
