An old king wanted to find a new ruler for this country. The king said that the next ruler would be the one to finish these things: catch a thousand fish and find the country’s most valuable (宝贵的) thing.

“Nobody here has a boat that can hold a thousand fish,” said a man.

“There are no valuable things here. We can only find stones,” said another man. A young lady named Jaya thought about the king’s words as she walked along the beach.` She watched fish swimming in the water. Then she saw some things that were great. She put them into a bucket (桶) and ran to the king.

“What’s that ?” the king asked.

“Eggs,” Jaya said. “Each one will become a fish. My bucket holds thousands of them.”

“You are very clever,” said the king. “But you will need eyes that see everything to find the most valuable thing in our country.”

Walking home along the street, Jaya looked into shop windows. When a person gave her a smile, Jaya had a fantastic idea. The next morning, Jaya brought some people with her and went to see the king.

“The people are the most valuable in the country,” Jaya said. “They share their talents and make everyone happy.”

The king smiled, “You are very smart. But the most important thing is that you know that the people around you are the most valuable in our country. I’m sure you’ll look after them well.” Then he handed Jaya the crown (王冠).
