He invented a new game to make his friend, the king, happy. He called it “chess”. The king loved it and decided to give him anything he liked. However, Sessa told the king he only wanted some grains of wheat（小麦粒）. "What?!" said the king, greatly surprised. "Since you enjoy my chessboard so much, just give me a grain of wheat on the first square（方格）of the chessboard, two grains on the second square, four for the third, and so on.

" With that, the king and Sessa were still best friends and Sessa got what he wanted---a wiser king. 56. Sessa ____________ a new game called "chess" to make the king happy. 57.
