新年第一碗雞湯

A long time ago, a king took his army and went to a war.

 

In a battle, he was almost killed by the enemy, but a brave soldier saved him.

 

The king was very grateful, and promised the soldier a reward of land.

 

He told the soldier that the land he could reach on his feet in one hour would be all his.

 

The soldier started immediately, he ran and ran and ran with no pause.  The hour ended, the horn was blown, and the soldier collapsed on the ground, while letting go of his last breath.

 

The king buried him. At the funeral he looked at the soldier’s grave and sighed “Did you know, poor soldier, this is how much you’d actually need?”
