La pièce de cuivre

Un jour, le sage royal avait une longue discussion avec le roi devant la cour. Le sage était très célèbre et le roi le respectait beaucoup. Il se prosterna devant le roi à la fin de la conversation et une petite pièce de cuivre tomba de sa poche et roula.

Le sage était très pauvre et c’était tout l’argent qu’il avait. Chaque pièce que le roi lui avait donnée, il l’avait donnée aux pauvres du Royaume. Il se pencha immédiatement et commença à chercher la pièce. Tous les courtisans, sauf Birbal, se mirent à rire.

Un courtisan a dit: «Votre Majesté, regardez le sage. Avez-vous vu quel avare il est? Vous lui avez donné tant de cadeaux coûteux et des milliers de pièces. Il est toujours à la recherche d’une pièce de monnaie en cuivre.»

Le sage devint très triste et se prosterna. Il était sur le point de s’excuser lorsque Birbal a commencé à parler. Birbal connaissait bien le sage et il savait que le sage ne répondrait pas.

Birbal a dit: «Le courtisan se trompe, mon roi! Le sage ne cherche pas la minuscule pièce parce qu’il est un avare. Le sage ne cherche la pièce que parce qu’un côté de cette pièce porte votre visage. Il ne veut pas que quiconque marche accidentellement dessus.»

Akbar était très heureux d’entendre la réponse de Birbal selon laquelle il avait donné cent pièces d’or au Sage.

Des fleurs pour Akbar

Old Dreams Never Die

One The rough shape of the  Lantis Mountains  was semi-visible in the misty clouds, fuzzily outlined by the lone moon in the dark shadows. Brody sat under a tree, gazing at the fuzzy outline of the distant mountains. He had just finished a battle, and the pain in his right hand hadn't yet faded away. A fluorescent blue light on his arm flickered across his face – Brody was always so expressionless, no matter what he was doing. With battle after battle and countless pains in his right hand, Brody's memory had gradually been filled up long ago. The reckless boy in the small village, the boy who thought he could defeat everything, and the blazing fire in that village. For Brody, the days after retrieving his memories were a cold and gloomy bottomless ocean. Between the endless Lantis Mountains, the light and shadow of the rising sun and the setting moon were his only remaining boats, saving him from drowning in the sea. Brody closed his eyes. When he opened them again, Benedetta w

Time of Lunar Eclipse

One It was a moonless night, and there were dark clouds over the forest. Occasionally a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled very softly. Alucard swung a sword, cutting down two lower demons who had snuck around to attack from the flanks. "Those things are so annoying." Since encountering a small group of demon scouts in the southeastern foothills of the Lantis Mountains, Alucard pursued them all the way, and saw a large group of demons on the edge of the forest. They were surrounding a small group of elves, steadily tightening the encirclement. Alucard glanced at the besieged elves. The leading elven girl held a silver bow with her hair tied up high, directing the elves to launch a counterattack. Right after, he unlocked the seal on his right hand and rushed into the battlefield. The demons were disrupted by the sudden enemy's deployment. They did not know how many people had come to support this small unit of elves. They rushed towards Alucard one by one, and weak
