从前有两个人,一个总爱说实活,一个却只说谎话。有一次,他们偶然来到了猿猴国。一只自称为国王的猿猴吩咐(fēnfù)手下捉住这两个人,他要询(xún)问这两人对他的看法。同时他还下令,所有的猿猴都要像人类的朝廷仪式(yíshì)那样,将在他左右分列成两行,中间给他放一个王位。 There used to be two people, one always loves to tell the truth, the other only to lie. Once, they happened to come to the ape country. A self-proclaimed King of the Apes orders these men under his hand and asks (xún) to ask the two men what they think of him. At the same time he also ordered that all the apes should be divided into two lines, left and right, like the ceremonial courtesies of mankind, with a throne in the middle.
