A long time ago, there was a well-known old man. He always knew what was going to happen.
One day, the king went to see him. He asked the old man, “Am I going to live a long time? What’s going to happen to me?”
The old man looked at the king for a while and said, “You are going to die in three days.” The king was worried and angry. He shouted at the old man, “If I don’t die after three days, I’ll kill you.”
