This is a canyon. He came down from the mountain, rested under an oak tree and looked at the bridge. He tucked an important letter into his arms. A letter about secretly surrounding the enemy tomorrow night and carrying out a big annihilation war. This letter must reach us this afternoon.

The only way is to cross the bridge. Crossing the bridge is our own territory. He will be safe. This letter is also safe.

He sat under the oak tree for half an hour and came to the conclusion that the enemy soldiers would come out of the gun house every five minutes, and no one was allowed to pass.

Moreover, he calculated that with his physical strength and pace, it would take at least 7 minutes to cross the bridge.

What should he do in these two minutes? He looked up at the sun, thought for a moment, stood up, walked along the path and walked to the bridge.

He walked steadily forward, staring at the watch in his hand.

Time is running out. He turned quickly and walked back. Soon, a soldier came out of the turret. The soldier looked at him, holding a gun to his waist with one hand and making a stop sign with the other. He also looked at the soldier, who was in rags and had a fish basket in his hand.

The soldier waved and shouted, "Don't cross! Turn around and go back! One more step and I'll shoot!

He turned back trembling.

A long time ago, there was a country that was very prosperous. The king was so powerful that he put a Greek wise man in prison for no reason. One day, the Spanish monarch sent a good horse. The king wanted to hear the wise man's opinion, so he brought the wise man.

"This is indeed a beautiful horse, but it grew up eating donkey milk." The Greek said, "Because its ears are drooping." The king gave him a piece of bread.

A few days later, when the king was fiddling with his jewels, he called the Greeks again. "Can you tell me which of these jewels is the most precious?"

The Greek replied, "Your Majesty, which one do you think is the most precious?"

The king picked up the most beautiful gem and said, "This is it."

The Greek picked up the gem and examined it. He held it in his hand and put it in his ear and said, "Your Majesty, there is a bug in the gem."

The king immediately sent for a stonemason and ordered him to smash the jewels. Sure enough, there is a bug in it. The king asked the Greeks how they knew, and the Greeks respectfully said, "Gems are usually cold. But I hold this gem in my hand, but it is warm. Obviously, this heat comes from the creatures inside. "

The king nodded admiringly and gave the Greek a piece of bread.

One day, the king was very unhappy. He suspected that he was not the real son of the former king, so he sent for the Greeks and took them into the secret room. He asked, "Master, I know you are very observant. Can you tell me whose son I am? "

The Greek replied, "Your Majesty, this is a strange request! You are the son of your noble late father. "

The king was dissatisfied: "If you don't tell me the truth, I will put you to death."

"Then, your majesty," replied the Greek, "I'm sorry, but you are the son of a baker."

Hearing this, the king immediately sent for the empress dowager. Under his threat, Empress Dowager Cixi admitted that the Greeks were telling the truth.

The king asked the Greek again, "Tell me, master, how do you know?"

The Greek replied, "Your Majesty, if you are really the son of the king, you should send me an ideal city because of my merits. And your nature, like your baker's father, is content to give me a loaf of bread. "

The king had an epiphany and immediately gave the Greeks many valuable gifts and set him free.

Once upon a time, there was a king with a bad temper. He has been arguing with his neighbors for decades because of territorial issues. Later, the king of the neighboring country died. After the prince succeeded to the throne, he sent an ambassador to see the king, hoping that the two countries could stop fighting and negotiate territorial issues.

The king felt that this was a good opportunity to win the war, and he was unwilling to negotiate, and even the ambassador was not seen. He sent his entourage to see the waiting ambassador, saying that ten girls dressed as maids would come out soon, and if the ambassador could guess which one was the princess, he would like to see him. If you don't accept this condition, you can go back to your country at once and prepare for the next battle.

The ambassador agreed. The attendants came to the ambassador with the changed princess and her nine personal maids. They were wearing the same yellow clothes and wearing the same light green scarf. The king hid behind the curtain. The ambassador raised his eyes, glanced around quickly, and smiled and said to his entourage, "It turns out that the king's sincerity in reconciliation is so great, and the purple auspicious cloud on the princess's head is really lucky."

The attendants and nine ladies-in-waiting, even the king hiding behind the curtain, turned their eyes to the real princess and looked at the purple auspicious clouds above her head. The ambassador followed everyone's eyes and bowed respectfully to the princess.
