C（2024·江苏淮安·九上期初）
Thousands of years ago, there lived a king. His people loved him because he looked after their needs well. He would often invite some smart people to look at his work and give him advice.
The king built many things. As he grew old, the king thought, “I will build a perfect palace to remember my whole life. It will be the best one not only in my kingdom（王国）, but also in neighboring countries.”
In a month, the king prepared a perfect design for his palace. He invited his advisers, and some smart people from neighboring countries, to get their ideas about the design.
“Amazing! It will be a perfect palace,” all the advisers said. But an old man standing in the corner didn't say anything.
The king turned to the old man and asked, “Why are you silent? Don't you think that my palace will be a perfect one?”
The old man replied in a calm voice, “Dear king! Your palace will be strong and last forever. It will be beautiful, but not perfect. It may take tens of thousands of workers a whole lifetime to build it, working day and night. Your palace will cost a lot of money, which must come from the people. If your people will live worse because of this building, how perfect can it be?”
The king thought for a while and thanked the old man for his words. He decided to give up his plan and care more about people's lives.
