（55）Clever Affendi
Once Affendi had a joke with the Prime Minister.He said the Minister would die the next day. The next day the Minister really fell from the horse and died. When the king heard this, he got angry and sent his men to catch Affendi right away .
After Affendi had been brought to him, the king said angrily, “Affendi, since you knew when my Minister would die, you must also know the day of your own death. Say it out, or you will die today.”Looking at the king, Affendi answered,“But how can I know? I'll die two days earlier than you.”
Hearing that his own death would follow,the king thought he must keep Affendi alive as long as possible ,so he let Affendi go .
聪明的阿凡提
有一次，阿凡提与宰相开了一个玩笑。他说宰相第二天就会死。第二天，宰相真的从马上摔下来，死了。国王听说了这件事后非常生气，立刻派人去把阿凡提抓回来。
阿凡提被带到国王面前，国王愤怒地说：“阿凡提，既然你知道我的宰相何时会死，那你也必然知道你自己的死期了。说出来吧，否则你今天就会死。”阿凡提看着国王，回答道：“我怎么能知道呢？我只是比您早死两天而已。”
国王听到自己的死期也随之而至，于是决定他必须让阿凡提活得尽可能长，因此他就放走了阿凡提。
