English version of Aesop's fables (dialogue)
Once upon a time, there were two people. One always tells the truth, the other only lies. Once, they came to the ape country by accident. An ape who claimed to be the king ordered his men to catch these two men. He wanted to ask them what they thought of him. At the same time, he also ordered that all apes should be divided into two rows around him like human court ceremonies, with a throne in the middle. When everything was ready, he ordered the two men to be taken to the front and said to them, "Gentlemen, what kind of king do you think I am?" The liar replied, "In my opinion, you are like the most powerful king." "What about these apes next to you?" The man quickly said, "They are all your pillars. At least they can be ambassadors and generals." The ape king and his men were very pleased to hear the lie and happily ordered a beautiful gift for the flatterer. Seeing this situation, the person who tells the truth thinks, "I can get such a rich reward for lying, so what if I tell the truth according to my habit?" At this time, the ape king turned around and asked him, "What do you think of me and my friends?" He said, "You are the best ape, and by analogy, all your companions are excellent apes." When the ape king heard the truth, he became angry from embarrassment and threw the person who told the truth into his own hands for disposal. The story is that many people would rather believe flattering lies than tell the truth.

Once upon a time, there were two people, one liked telling the truth and the other liked lying. Once, they happened to come to the country of apes and monkeys. A man who claimed to be the Monkey King sent someone to arrest the two men, and he wanted to ask them what they thought of him. He also ordered all monkeys to be like human beings as a court ceremony, and divided his whip into two lines, giving him a throne in the middle. When everything was ready, he ordered the two men to be brought before him and said to them, "Gentlemen, what kind of king am I?" The liar replied, "In my opinion, you are one of the most powerful kings.

""What do these apes do next? The man quickly said, "They are your pillars, ambassadors and generals. You can at least do this." "the Monkey King and his men heard this lie, and they were very proud and happy to be told of the flatterer's good gift. So people who tell the truth see this situation and think to themselves, "A fan can get such a generous reward for lying. If I always follow the habit of telling the truth, will it work?" Then the Monkey King turned around and asked him, "What do you think will happen to me and my friends?" He said, "You are one of the best apes. Wait, yours."

All the companions are excellent apes. "the Monkey King was very angry when he heard the truth. To tell the truth, he continued to dispose of the man who threw his hand. The story is that many people would rather believe Mei Tao's lies than listen to the truth. Hope to adopt.
