Once, a king showed two men a large basket in the garden. He told them to fill it with water from a well. After they began their work, he left them, saying, “When the sun is d 1 , I will come and check your work.”
At last, one of them said, “What’s the use of doing this foolish work? We can never f 2 the basket.” The other man answered, “This is none of your business.” The first man said, “You may do as you like, but I am going to work at nothing so f 3 .” He threw down his bucket and went away.The other man said no word, and k 4 on carrying water. At last the well was almost e 5 .
As he poured the last bucket of water into the basket, he saw a bright thing in it. He picked it up. It was a beautiful gold ring. Just then the king came. As soon as he saw the ring, he knew that he had found the kind of man he w 6 . He told him to keep the ring for himself. “You have done so well in this little thing,” he said, “that now I know I can b 7 you in many things.”
