Could you identify辨别;发现 a key word for the theme in these two sentences from the story?
Once upon a time, there was a king who often thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he had an idea.
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody making an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there no one in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbors from harm?”
We should all take responsibilities for our community.
