Long long ago, there was a poor(穷) man. He had an orange tree. On the tree, there were many fine oranges. One of them was very big. It was as big as a ball. Nobody saw so big an orange. The poor man was very happy. He gave it to the King (国王). The King was so glad that he gave the man a lot of money for it.

    When a rich man heard of it, he said to himself, “It was only an orange. Why did the King give so much money for him? I would take my gold (金的) cup to the King. He would give me more money.”

    The next day when the King got the gold cup, he said to the rich man, "What a beautiful cup! I would show you something wonderful. This big orange is for you.”
