Others say all the villagers are wise. L

21、et me tell you about the people of Gotham so you can decide for yourself. Long ago, England was ruled by a cruel king named John. One day, the people of Gotham heard that King John and his men would soon be riding through their town. This worried the villagers, for they knew the greedy king would de

22、mand food and accommodation for his men.Whats more, if he saw anything to his liking, he would surely take it. A town meeting was called. After much discussion, the townspeople decided to cut down a number of huge trees to block the roads leading into Gotham. When King John and his men reached the o

23、utskirts of the village, they could not pass. Angry, King John ordered his men to go into the town and punish the villagers. When the kings officers finally made their way over the trees, they found a village of fools. Some say that was because the people of Gotham had a planthey had decided to act

24、like fools since they had never heard of anyone being punished for being a noodlehead. Others say thats just the way they were. In the village, the kings men encountered a man riding a donkey. The man was bent over because he carried a huge bag of grain on his own shoulders. He looked exhausted. One

25、 of the kings men approached him and asked, “Why, in heavens name, are you carrying that bag? Why dont you just put it behind you on your donkeys back?” “You see,” replied the man from Gotham, “my donkey is feeling poor today. Its bad enough that she has to carry me, so I decided to lighten her burd

26、en by carrying the bag myself.” The kings men said, “But sir, dont you see that if youre riding on top of the donkey, shes still carrying the weight of the bag?” The man didnt reply. He just looked at the kings men as if they were crazy and went on his way. The kings officers giggled at the foolishn

27、ess of the man. Before long, they passed a pond where they found a number of villagers in the midst of a great argument. Two of them were holding a big eel. “Quiet down,” commanded one of the kings men. “Whats the problem here?” One of the villagers stepped forward and said, “Last year we took all t

28、he extra fish we caught and put them in this pond so they would multiply. But this year when we came back, all we caught was this one huge eel. Obviously it has eaten all of our fish! Since then, we have argued long and hard over how to punish this bad eel. But we have finally agreed on the perfect

29、punishment. We are just about to drown the eel in this very pond!” The kings officers couldnt believe their ears. Drown an eel whose home is in the water? These men were sillier than the first man they met! Before long, they reached the center of the village, where they were in for another surprise.

30、 There they found the rest of the townspeople building a towering stone wall. When the soldiers inquired what was going on, one of the villagers replied, “Every spring a cuckoo comes to live in our village. It always brings warm weather. When it leaves, the cold weather returns. Last year we decided

31、 that if we could get the cuckoo to stay here all year, we would always have warm weather. We built this stone wall, but it obviously wasnt high enough because the bird flew away. This year were determined to build it so high that the cuckoo cant escape.” The kings officers had heard enough. They couldnt bring themselves to punish such stupid people. They returned to King John and told him all about the fools of Gotham. Whether its fair or not,
