The Clever Soldier
One day the Emperor of China lost his gold ring while riding through the
streets of his kingdom. He then called
all his messengers and told them to announce that anyone who found it would
have anything he asked for.
A
few days later, a poor soldier found the ring while he was walking on the
street. As he kicked off dust with his feet, he saw the ring by the
wayside. Excitedly, he walked to the
palace gate. Before he could enter, the
gatekeeper stopped him. When the soldier
told him about the ring, the gatekeeper made the soldier promise that they will
divide between them the money the Emperor would give as his reward.
“I promise,” said the soldier.
“But write down what you want on a piece of paper.” The Gatekeeper did and gave the piece of
paper to the soldier.
The soldier was soon on his way to the palace. He met the doorkeeper who asked him to share
with him one half of his reward. Again
the soldier asked the keeper to write down his wish. He kept the piece of paper with the first one
in his pocket.
The emperor was very much pleased to get
his ring back. “I will give you a
thousand pieces of gold as your reward,” he said.
The
soldier, however, asked to be whipped a hundred times instead. He removed his coat and shirt, ready to be
whipped a hundred times. As he did so,
the two pieces of paper dropped on the floor.
The Emperor said, “Why do you ask to be
whipped? You have done nothing
wrong.” When he saw the pieces of paper
he asked about them. The soldier
replied, “O, Son of Heaven, on these two pieces are written the promises two of
your men asked me to make. These are
written by their own hands. I must
fulfill my promise. I must give half of
what I get to the Gatekeeper and the other half to the keeper of the door.
The Emperor read the words on the paper.
Then he smiled and said, “You are a clever man. Now, I know that some of my men take money
from the poor.. I must teach these two men a lesson.”
He bade the men to appear before him.
He asked them about what they did to the soldier. Seeing the pieces of paper in the Emperor’s
hand, they admitted their guilt. The
Emperor then told each of them to get me half of what the soldier asked for.
Poor men!
The gatekeeper got one-half of the hundred lashes and the keeper of the
door, the other half. They were so hurt
they could hardly walk away.
“For giving me back my ring and showing me how some of trusted men treat
the poor, I will give you a thousand pieces of gold.” He gave the soldier a silken bag containing
his reward. “Now, go in peace and make
good use of your reward.”
The clever soldier thanked the Emperor
and walked away a rich man.
