There was once a playboy. In his childhood,he was always wandering in the street, with a gang of naughty guys. When heglanced at a wooden board, which had “ One coin each steamed bun.”written on it, he crossed out the word “each” and substituted it with number “ten”. Momentslater, the playboy dashed into the snack store , throwing a coin on thecashier, and tricked the shop-owner by it.
It was incredible that he was excelled inall classical arts, namely, archery, writing, and music constituted parts ofhis talent. What made him interested was to compete with his gangsters for somestrange events, such as lifting huge stones or chessing without chessboard.
One night witnessed a horrible rainstorm.The playboy also idled away his time in feasting and other kinds ofentertainment , surprisingly companiedwith a stammer of a humble origin. The rain lasted for three days, but theycouldn’t forget the night over one decade. Scarcely had the playboy stoodoutside his yard, when he desperately screamed and almost fainted. Heavens, howterrified if one saw scarlett red rain water flooding from his house? Hiscountry has just lost a battle, and his family was ruined into nothing. Waterpoured off his hair and clothes, as well as ran in the stammer’s shoes. Theykneeled down under the black sky, in spite of leaving away, the stammer heldhis hands and gently patted his on his back.
After the mourning, the playboy made up hismind to take his revenge, so he journeyed with the stammer, seeking a saint fortheir mentor. Since the playboy was extraordinarily gifted, he had no truefriend except for his shadow.
Speaking of shadow, the first image thatthe stammer left on the playboy was a partly hidden one nestled up against thedoor, peeping at him with a little bit coy. The innocent eye indicated a desirefor wealth and rank, nonetheless, more worries about him might have been easilyread.
He wanted a friend, but it had to be a truefriend! During their five-year’s studying, the playboy ‘occasionally’ teased oreven cheated his friend, however, the stammer gave a smile back to him as ever.
Time flows away tenderly. The stammer wasno longer a stammer, instead, he sheded into an eloquent and elegant lobbyist.After farewelling to each other, they respectively loyalled to differentcountries . The playboy, and now the strategist, was badly framed up by his colleaguesand expelled from the court. So he paid a visit to his friend without anyhesitation.
Shining and shaking his sorrow, thelobbyist eventually ran into tears, and his secretary was commanded to drivehis beloved friend away. On the other hand, he hurried his student to send theplayboy a large box of gold anonymously.
Having been irriatated and humiliated, the strategistturned to the embrace of his enemy’s country, and became a government figure.For the sake of gratitude or somewhat curiosity, he traced to the source of thegold, then everything has been brought into daylight.
Revenge wasn’t everything in life, if itwere, how could people’s life standard lowered and lowered? Too much invisiblehatred lay between those countries, and this time, the playboy held hands ofhis unique friend, striving for alleviating the hatred and persuading people toreunion.
Friends , changed the fate of the world.
