Once upon a time, there was a king. He always worried about what might happen
in the future. One day, the king noticed a cobbler (修鞋匠). Although he wore ragged
( 破旧的) clothes, he was very happy. How could he smile so brightly? The king
decided to find out.
The next day, the king dressed in rags and followed the cobbler home
“Please, sir, can you give some food to me? “asked the king.
“Of course, “said the cobbler.
“Why are you so happy?”
“Today I made enough money by repairing shoes to buy the bread.”
“But what if you don't make enough money for food tomorrow?”
“I have faith (信心). Everything will be fine.
This touched the king. But he wondered what would happen if the cobbler
couldn't make enough money. So the next day, the king didn't permit anyone to
repair shoes. The cobbler was puzzled (困惑的) , but he wasn't down. When he saw
some villagers trying, to carry water home, he helped them and got coins from them.
That evening the King went to the cobbler’s house again. The cobbler was having
soup and smiling.
“How could you pay for the food today?” asked the king.
“I made money by helping the villagers carry water,” said the cobbler.
“ But what will you do tomorrow?”
“I have faith. Everything will be fine.”
“Your faith has driven away my fear about the future. Thank you, said the king.
