There was a person who made his living with his excellent acrobatic(杂技的) skills in the state of Song. He once purposely went to the palace to perform his specialty for King Yuan of the state of Song. The King was amazed by his performance and rewarded him with a lot of things.
Another actor heard of this and offered to perform for the King too. Knowing this, the king became furious and said, "Last time I was in a good mood, so I gave out a lot of largess. You must have come for the rewards. I loathe(讨厌) this type of person like you very much."
After saying this, the king ordered his arrest. By the time this unfortunate actor was released, a whole month had passed.
宋国有一个靠高超的杂技技艺为生的人,特地进宫去给宋元君表演自己的专长,宋元君看后,十分惊讶,赏赐给他许多东西。
另一个艺人听说这件事后,也要求给宋元君专场演出。宋元君听说后,大发雷霆,说:“上次正赶上我心情愉快,所以赏赐得多了一些。你肯定也是冲着赏赐来的。我对你这种人最为厌恶。”
说完后,宋元君下令把他关起来。一个月后,这个倒霉的艺人才被放出来。
