A long time ago there lived a very rich and powerful king. All the people in his kingdom were afraid of him. But was he happy? No, he was always ill and unhappy. His money and power could not help him. The doctor in his kingdom could not cure (治愈)him,either. He was so angry with them that he cut off their heads.

One day two famous doctors from another kingdom came to his palace.

“If you can cure me and make me happy,”said the king, “I will give you all the gold you can carry.”

The first doctor looked over the king. He found nothing wrong with him.

“You are a very healthy man, Your Majesty(陛下).” said the doctor. “You only thinkyou are ill and so make yourself unhappy.”

The king was very angry when he heard this. He told his soldiers to cut off the doctor’s head.

The second doctor knew he had to be careful. “Oh, king. You will be well if you wear the shoes of a man who is always happy.”he said. The king was pleased with his answer and thought that the doctor was very wise . He gave the doctor a bag of gold.

The king asked hundreds of people if they were always happy. They all said they were sometimes happy and sometimes sad. At last he met a beggar (乞丐)who said that he was always happy.

“Give me your shoes quickly.” said the king, “And I will make you a very rich man.” The beggar laughed, “I am sorry,” he answered, “I never wear shoes!”
