Story
Once upon a time and in a country a long way off there was a king who was very ill. All the doctors of the court attended him but, in spite of all they could do, he got worse instead of better. At last they called in a famous doctor from another country. He came, looked at the king, and then looking very serious, said, «Your Majesty, there is only one thing that can help you».
«What is that?» said the king. «Whatever you want shall be brought for you».
«You must sleep for one night,» said the doctor, «in the shirt of a happy man!»
So the king sent two of his chief servants to find a happy man and, when they had found him, to bring back his shirt.
Well, they went first to the richest man in the city and asked him if he was a happy man.
«Happy!» he said, «when I never know whether my ships are going to be lost next day, when thieves are always trying to break into my house. How can a man be happy with all these troubles?»
So they went to the king's Chief Minister, the most powerful man in the country, except for the king.
«Are you a happy man?» they said.
«Don't be silly,» he said. «Our enemies are trying to make war on us any day. There's John trying to push me out of power, the workers are always wanting to have more money, and the rich wanting to pay less taxes. How do you think a Chief Minister can be a happy man?»
So they went all over the country looking everywhere for a happy man but never finding one.
They were returning home, tired and miserable (for they quite expected that the king would have them put to death for not finding what he wanted), when they saw a beggar, sitting by the roadside. He had made a little fire, and was frying some sausages in a frying-pan, and singing merrily as he watched his supper cooking.
They looked at each other. Had they found what they were looking for? They went up to him and one of them said, "You sound very happy, my friend." "Of course, I'm happy," he said. They could hardly believe their ears. With one voice they said, "We want your shirt." The beggar laughed heartily. "I'm sorry, gentle-men," he said, "but I haven't got a shirt."
