The King And The Critic
Aking liked to write stories, which he thought were very good. The people to whom he showed them were afraid to criticize them. They said that his stories were good.
One day the king showed some of his stories to a wellknown critic, who said that his stories were bad. The king got angry with him and sent him to prison.
After some time the king pardoned the critic and when he returned invited him to his palace to dinner. Again the king showed the critic some of his stories and asked what the critic thought of the stories.
The critic turned to the guards who were standing behind and said, “ Take me back to prison.”
国王和评论家
有个国王很喜欢写故事，他自认为写得还不错。每当他拿自己写的这些故事给人们看的时候，人们不仅不敢批评他，而且都说写得很好。
一天，国王拿着一部分他写的故事给一个有名的评论家看，评论家说这些故事糟透了。国王很生气，把他关进了监狱主。
过了一段时间后，国王了这个评论家，并邀请他来皇宫晚餐。国王再一次拿出自己写的一些故事给他看并问他写得如何。
评论家转过身去对卫兵说；“带我回监狱吧。”
