One day he was wandering around the woods by himself. Instead of depending on his advisers, who would please him, he secretly walked among people to collect information directly from them. In this way, he could know what was exactly going on in his kingdom and what people really thought about 第2页 共8页 After walking for a long time, he lost his way, and finally came to a hut. He saw an old lady outside the hut. Though the old lady did not recognize the king, she still welcomed him with warmth She served the king a plate of hot rice with a curry dish. The king was so hungry that he put his fingers on the hot food carelessly, and of course the hot food burnt his fingers. He dropped some rice on the floor. “Oh, you seem very impatient and hasty (草率的)like our king." the old lady said. The king was surprised by the lady's words and asked,"Why do you think our king is impatient and hasty?" The old lady smiled and replied,"Our king has a big dream of taking over all his enemies' cities However, he just focused on taking over the larger and more important cities while disregarding the smaller ones." The king was confused and stopped the old lady,"But that's a nice thing, and I don't see the problem with it." With a smile, again she replied,"The impatience caused you to burn your fingers and waste some of the meal. Similarly, the king's haste led to the deaths of many soldiers. Instead, if you eat the less hot part of the food on the outer edge and then slowly move to the hotter middle, you can avoid burning your fingers and wasting food. In my opinion, the king can take over the small cities and stop them from providing supplies (补给) as well as information for the stronger cities. In that case. the enemies will lose their confidence easily. This will help him take over the larger cities withou suffering heavy damage."
