1976年10月,美国和东南亚地区的不少报刊上刊登了一个优美的童话。这则童话还配上优美的彩画,使之更增添了诗情画意。这则童话是这样的:从前有位国王,他是一个美食家。他雇了一位烹饪技术高超的厨师,因而每天都能吃到精美绝伦的餐点。有一天,餐点的质量下降,国王一下吃出来了。经查问,是那位厨师的双手开裂红肿,不能再做点心了,由别人代做,因而味道不如从前的。国王让厨师治疗,但迟迟不见效。国王就把那位厨师辞退了。 In October 1976, a beautiful fairy tale was published in many newspapers and magazines in the United States and Southeast Asia. This fairy tale is also accompanied by beautiful paintings, making it even more poetic. This fairy tale is like this: Once there was a king, he was a gourmet. He hired a chef with a superb cooking skill so that he could eat exquisite meals every day. One day, the quality of the meal fell and the king ate it. After questioning, the chef’s hands were cracked and swollen, and they could not make snacks any more. They had to do it on behalf of others and therefore tasted worse than before. The king allowed the chef to heal, but it was not effective. The king dismissed the chef.
