Read the passage again and then answer the following questions.
Once, there was a king in Tibet who loved to eat fish. His love for fish was so great that he couldn’t
eat anything if there was no fish on the table.
It happened one year that there was no rain. Month after month, there was less and less water in the
rivers, and less and less fish, until there was no fish at all, even for the king. The king could not eat
everything. He sent men to all the fishermen’s villages in the country to announce that the man who
brought fish to the king’s table could have any reward he asked for.
Some time passed and a poor fisherman appeared in front of the king’s palace, carrying a lot of fish.
When the guard at the gate saw the fisherman coming towards him, he immediately knew who the man
was taking the fish to, so he asked the man to give the fish to him. The fisherman did not agree. The
guard finally agreed to let him go on the condition that the fisherman had to give him half of his reward.
After the fisherman met the king, the king asked him what he wanted for the reward. Surprisingly, the
fisherman asked for thousand blows and he shared his reward to the guard at the gate. This gave the
guard a lesson about being dishonest.
