Once upon a time, there was a king. He only had one leg and one eye,but he was very smart and kind. Everyone lived a happy and healthy life because of the king. One day, the king was walking through the palace     hallway and saw the paintings of his ancestors(祖先).He thought that one day his children would also walk in the same hallway and remember all the ancestors through these paintings.He wanted his children to remember him,too.So he invited many famous artists

to his palace.

All of the artists began to think about the king's physical disabilities(生理缺陷). How could his painting be made very beautiful?It was not possible.They weren't sure what his painting would be like.So one by one, they all started to politely refuse to make a painting of the king.

But suddenly one artist raised his hand and said he would make a very nice painting of the king. The king became happy hearing that. Then the artist started painting. After a long time, the painting was ready.

When the artist showed the painting, everyone was shocked. In the painting, the king was sitting on a horse, on the one﹣leg side, holding his bow (弓箭) and aiming (瞄准) something    with his one eye closed. The king was very happy and gave him lots of money.

As we all know, no one is perfect. So we should try to focus on (关注) others' advantages instead of their disadvantages. Just take an optimistic view (乐观的观点) of the event. Everyone can do a good job.
