英語笑話:The King and His Stories 國王和他的故事

Once there was a king. He likes to write stories, but his stories were not good. As people were afraid of him, they all said his stories were good.

One day the king showed his stories to a famous writer. He waited the writer to praise these stories. But the writer said his stories were so bad that he should throw them into fire. The king got very angry with him and sent him to prison.

After some time, the king set him free. Again he showed him some of his new stories and asked what he thought of them.

After reading them, the writer at once turned to the soldiers and said: “ Take me back to prison, please.”國王和他的故事

從前有一個國王，他喜歡寫故事，但是他寫的故事很不好。人們怕他，都說他的故事好。有一天國王把他的故事給一名作家看，他想要作家讚揚他的這些故事，而作家說他的故事是如此的差以至於該扔進火裏。國王很生氣，把他送到監獄。

過了些日子，國王給了作家自由。國王重新將自己的一些新故事給作家看並問他感覺怎麼樣。

作家看了之後立刻轉身對士兵說着;“請把我送回監獄吧。”
