READING STORY
He Saved His Life
The French king Louis XI had an Italian astrologer (астролог) whose name was Martius Galeotti. One day the king asked him:
"You say that the stars (звезды) tell you everything, and that you know the hour own death? Do you know when you will die?"
"What shall I answer him?" thought the astrologer. "It I say that I shall live long, the king will kill me just to prove (1) that the stars do not say the truth (правду).
Then he remembered that the king was himself afraid of death and he used this fact.
"Yes, I can determine the hour of my death, bur it is necessary to connect it with another man's death," he said.
"I do not understand your answer, Martius. What do you mean?"
"Know then, oh king," said Martius, that my death will take place (2) exact-ly twenty-four hours before yours".
Since that time the king never discussed that question again.
PROVERBS
Ask no questions and you will hear no lies (ложь).
He that (3) is roll of himself is very empty (пустой).
Примечания
(1) will kill me just to prove - убьет меня, лишь бы доказать
