　　二十七. One Real Man

　　In an ancient kingdom(王國), all men were ruled by their wives. The king didn’t believe it. In order to prove it was not true, the king had all the men of his kingdom brought before him. He warned that any man who did not tell the truth would be seriously  punished.

　　Then he asked all the men who followed their wives' orders to step to the left side of the hall. All the men did so but one little man who moved to the right side.

　　“It's good to see,”said the king,“that we have one real man in the kingdom. Tell these chicken-hearted men why you alone among them stand on the right side of the hall.”

　　“Your Majesty(陛下),”came the reply in a weak voice, “it is because before I left home my wife told me to keep out of crowds(人群). I don't dare to go against her.”

　　【漢語翻譯】

　　一個真正的男子漢

　　在古代的(ancient)一個王國里，所有的男人都由妻子統治(rule)。國王(king)不相信這一點，為了證明(prove)這不是真的，便把全國所有的男人都召來，并警告(warn)說，任何不說實話(tell the truth)者將受到嚴重的(serious)懲罰(punish)。

　　然后，他讓遵循(follow)妻子命令(order)的男人站到大廳(hall)的左邊(left side)，所有的男人都站到了左邊，只有一個小個子男人站到右邊。
