A Recipe
for Immortality
Astranger informed the Prince of Yen that he could make him immortal,
and the Prince bade one of his subjects learn this art : but
before the man could do so the stranger died. Then the
prince, in great anger, executed his subject.
He
failed to see that the stranger was cheating him, but taken
in by his lies had an
innocent citizen killed. This shows what a fool he was ! For
a man values nothing more than his own life, yet this fellow
could not even keep himself alive, so what could he do for
the prince ?
