It’s been told that there was once a prince who had a palace, but hecouldn’t live there because there was so much noise. Now, there was apoor teacher who couldn’t pay for a house, and so he went to this prince and said to him, “My lord, would you let me enter your palace and let me live there? If you do, I’ll make a pact with you: if I get rid of all the noise from your palace, your lordship will sell me the palace, and I’ll pay you for it.”
