  • Peter and Alice are discussing the story of the Little Shepherd Boy.

  • Peter: The boy is not smart at all!

  • Alice: Why do you say so?

  • Peter: I think he’s only avoiding answering the questions.

  • Alice: But I think he is really smart to answer the questions with metaphors.

  • Peter: No way. He doesn’t know the answers at all.

  • I’d say the king is stupid enough to be fooled.

  • Alice: No, he truly understands the boy’s answers.

  • Peter: I still don’t agree with you.

  • Alice: Listen, Peter.

  • The king understands the hugeness of the ocean,

  • the sky, and eternity through the boy’s metaphors.

  • That’s why he says the boy is wise.

  • Peter: Really? I still doubt it ….

  • Alice: Ha! It seems that the king is smarter than you.
