Lan Zi offers skills

Lan Zi offers skills

In ancient time, people call skilled people name "Lan zi". There is
a famus Lan zi in Song country. He ask for meeting with king of Song,
and expect to receive an grant from the king. The king interview him
and let him make a performance in public.

This guy bind tow sticks with his leg, and walk and run, at same
time, throw and hold 7 swords between air and his hands. Everytime
he can receive the swords preciously and doesn't hurt himself. The
king looked very exciting and reward him gold and silk immediately.

After sometime, another Lanzi heard about it, then ask to interview
the king again, this time, the king is not interesting but angry.
the king said, last time when the person meet me, I have a good mood, as
though his skill is useless, I rewarded him gold and silk. Today,
this man must heard about it, because he is love money and think
I will reward him as well, this is annoyed.

Therefor, the king arrest the Lanzi and want to kill him at begining,
but he think his guilty is not worth to die, then throw the man
into prison one month.

A king deal things on his mood must has no principal on deal with
a country. If a man just think him "appreciate skilled people", that
is stupid either.
