　　Long ago, people didn't wear shoes．They got used to walk 　　1　　 shoes．There was a king (国王) who went to travel far into the countryside．He felt very uncomfortable and angry because there were many 　　2　　 on the road．They made his feet hurt a lot．

　　As soon as he returned to his palace, he ordered (命令) that all the 　　3　　 should be covered with cattle hide (牛皮)．He thought it was good not only for himself but also for anyone else．He also hoped that 　　4　　 would no longer be a terrible thing．But even if all the cattle in the country were killed, there weren't enough pieces of hide to cover all the roads．

　　　　5　　 it was a silly idea．People could do nothing but sigh (叹气) as that was an order．A servant (仆人) in the palace said, “Dear King, why not find a(n) 　　6　　 solution? People don't have to kill all the cattle or cover the roads．　　7　　you have to do is simply to cover each of your feet with a piece of hide．” Surprised and pleased, the king 　　8　　．He asked people to do as the clever servant said．
