Once Effendi had a joke with the Prime Minister(宰相). He said that the Minister would die the next day. The next day, the Minister fell on to the ground from a horse and really died. When the king learned this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Effendi at once.
When Effendi was brought to him, the king shouted angrily, "Effendi, since you knew when my Minister would die, you must know the date of your own death. Say it out, or you'll die today."
Effendi looked at the king for a while. Then he answered, "But how can I know? I'll die two days earlier than you." The king was afraid that if he killed Effendi, he himself would die after that. He thought he must keep Effendi alive as long as possible, so he let Effendi go.
一 I don't use it today.
I wonder it will rain tomorrow.
WHICH FAMOUS PERSONS IN HISTORY WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET AND WHY?
For me it would clearly be Leonardo da Vinci. I'd love to meet him. He was not just an artist. He seems to know a number of things that only came about hundreds of years later, like flying machines and so on. I'd like to tell him he really did see the future. Naomi, Chicago |
I'd choose Cleopatra — the last king of ancient Egypt. It was said that she was very beautiful and she developed some really useful political alliances (政治联盟). Not many women were so clever and powerful in ancient times. I'd like to have seen how she did it. Lucinda, Nairobi |
I'm Latin American, so I would name Simon Bolivar as the person I would like to meet. He was a brave leader and helped develop independence(独立) for several countries in Latin America in the nineteenth century. Patricia, Caracas |
I studied philpsophy(哲学), so I would like to speak face-to-face with the Great Chinese philosopher Confucious. I'd like to discuss with him about his political philosophy and his idea about family values. Even though he lived over two thousand years ago, some of his opinions are still meaningful.
