He thought it was beneficial not only to5but also to his people and hoped 6would no longer be a painful thing
But7all the cattle in the kingdom were killed there8not be enough hide to get the work done. Evidently it was a stupid9. As it was an imperial order people could do nothing but shake their heads and10. At this juncture a clever servant in the palace11to make a suggestion. "Your Majesty, why don't take an easier way?

Surprised and13, the king immediately changed his mind and adopted the 14.
This is said to be the origin of using 15to make shoes. Though it sounds 16and strange, it inspires us to think. It is much easier to change oneself than to change the world. 17it will be much better for one to change oneself before one 18an attempt to change the outer world.
