There was once a king who had plenty of money and always bought beautiful clothes, but he was prouder of his boots than of anything else that he wore.

The king had a very good servant(仆人), but he was old. One day, the old servant died and another man came to take his place.

The king’s new servant was young and clever, but lazy. One morning, seeing that his boots had not been cleaned, the king called the new servant and said to him, “I’m going for a ride this morning, and my boots have not been cleaned.”

“Your Majesty(陛下),” answered the new servant very politely, “it rained a lot last night, and there is a lot of mud(泥) on the roads this morning. If I clean your boots now, they will soon get dirty again, so it is a waste of time to clean them.”

The king said nothing, but after he returned from his ride and had eaten his lunch, he did not leave any food for his servant as he usually did.

The servant waited and waited, and then at last when he felt very hungry, he said, “Please, Your Majesty, you have not given me anything for my lunch yet.”

“Oh,” answered the king calmly, “it would be a waste of time to give you any food now, because you would only be hungry again in a few hours’ time.”
