Persian poet Saadi's "Orchard" Story 28 (translated by Yang Wanbao)

I heard that There was a tyrannical king in Gul,

He snatched the donkey from the farmer.

Cows lose water and grass and do heavy work,

One or two people die a day of exhaustion.

When fate makes the villain call the emperor king,

He placed a heavy burden on the hearts of the poor.

The roof of his house is higher than the neighbor's smugness,

He peed on the roof of the house and dumped garbage.

I heard of the tyrannical and ruthless lord,

A day out hunting to distract yourself.

He was alone and lost,

At nightfall, he rushed to a village to stay.

There was an elderly man in that village,

He has a wide range of knowledgeable people.

The old man was exhorting his son,

Say: O child, go into the city tomorrow morning, and don't take the donkey with you.

Do you know that the king of the city is a despicable man,

He should not ascend to the throne and go to the grave.

This king is a demon who has lost his mind and is a miscreant,

The people looked up to Heaven and called the Lord to be mistreated.

In such a country the people are suffering from the sin,

Who else can get an anthem to enjoy happiness.

Only the vile little man who enjoys happiness,

Let him go to hell to shelter in the midst of the people's scolding.

The son replied: The road is long and bumpy,

It is easy to reach by donkey ride and difficult to walk.

Please think of a good solution for your old man,

You have experienced more things than I have experienced.

Father said, "If you want to hear me, you have an idea,

Go find a large rock and hold it tightly in your hand.

Smash the unfortunate donkey with that stone,

It was smashed into all four legs and bent over backwards.

Only to smash the donkey on the back and bruise the leg,

The little man saw the donkey and did not want to occupy it.

It's like Haizar destroying a ship,

Rude people will not take over the ship.

It is convenient to seize the civilian ship for one or two years,

But the notoriety has been passed down from year to year.

Let the country he rules see its ghost,

By the end of the world, there is no escape from popular reproach.

The son listened to his father's idea,

Compliance does not deviate at all.

He beat the poor donkey with a stone,

Straight hit the donkey's front leg injured and the back leg was unstable.

Father saw him and said you can go out now,

Don't worry about where to go.

The son went out with the caravan,

The mouth can't stop scolding and venting full of resentment.

The father turned and returned to his knees and prayed to Allah,

Pray that the Lord will bless the innocent.

He asked the Lord to bless the family with happiness and peace,

Do not be deceived and destroyed by the wicked king.

The evil king will not forgive the death and the remnants of the death,

I can't see his doom.

If a pregnant woman gives birth to a snake,

The serpent was also much stronger than the demonic man.

Women are also better than men who torture others,

Dogs are also a few points better than harmful people.

Youdao is a handful of broken jade in his own hand,

It is also better than the complete jade in the hands of the enemy.

The king listened to this conversation without a sound,

Tie up the war horse's head pillow saddle and pretend to fall asleep.

In fact, he had been looking at the stars all night,

The mind is full of confusion to clear the drowsiness.

When the morning rooster announces that it is dawn the next day,

He had forgotten all about yesterday's unhappiness.

The attendants waited for the horses to gallop all night long,

Tianming saw the mount to find the king.

As soon as the guards saw the king's fast horse,

Immediately, one by one, they turned over and dismounted to meet the driver.

The multitude bowed down and bowed their heads in a great salute,

Hulala was like a wave in the sea.

One of the inner beings was a close subordinate of the king,

The sunrise of the day to accompany the king and the king at night.

What did the farmers entertain His Majesty last night?

We didn't close our eyes overnight.

The king did not give details to the attendants, etc.,

There was no mention of the people's insults and ridicule of themselves.

He just quietly leaned over to the man,

Whispering in his ear tells him the reason for the beginning and the end.

Last night no one took chicken thighs to feed me,

Being insulted instead makes people angry.

In the midst of the conversation, the people sat down and set up a feast,

Staggered sweet and delicious food for food to fill the hunger.

The interest in the wine and ear heat is getting higher and higher,

Remembering last night the farmer must not be spared.

Immediately ordered his arrest tied with rope,

Toppling before the throne is punished according to sin.

The black-hearted king drew his sharp sword,

The poor old man had no way out.

When a man sees that the hope of survival has been cut off,

Then it is no longer concerned that what is said is what is thought in the heart.

Don't you see someone with a sword on your head,

His language was as sharp as a knife and a gun.

The old man looked up in despair to face the king,

Say: I am the one who is on the verge of death and has something to say.

People curse you to be in trouble and to be doomed,

Why do you only punish me old man.

I just happened to hear you hear, others are behind the legend,

Since you are tyrannical, then you should not expect it.

People will spread your good deeds and good names throughout the four townships,

If you are dissatisfied with my condemnation.

You should try to get rid of the source of your dissatisfaction,

Your way out is to change your mind and become good from now on.
