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.”
國王和評論家
有個國王很喜歡寫故事，他自認為寫得還不錯。每當他拿自己寫的這些故事給人們看的時候，人們不僅不敢批評他，而且都說寫得很好。
一天，國王拿著一部分他寫的故事給一個有名的評論家看，評論家說這些故事糟透了。國王很生氣，把他關進了監獄主。
過了一段時間后，國王了這個評論家，并邀請他來皇宮晚餐。國王再一次拿出自己寫的一些故事給他看并問他寫得如何。
評論家轉過身去對衛兵說；“帶我回監獄吧。”
