Question 22
An emperor in China was growing old and knew that it was time to choose his successor.
He gathered all his sons and gave each of them a seed and a flowerpot. “Plant the seed in
the pot. Tend to it and show me the results after three months. I will choose the new
emperor by judging at the plants,” said the emperor.
Huang Li took the seed home and planted it in the pot. Every day, he watered the seed
and took good care of it. As days passed, Huang Li became worried when he saw nothing
growing in his pot.
After three months, the emperor’s sons brought their plants to the emperor. Huang Li
was amazed when he saw the beautiful plants grown by his brothers. He looked at his
barren pot, feeling embarrassed.
The emperor suddenly laughed and said, “All of you, except Huang Li, have brought me
really pretty plants. However, the seeds that I gave you could no longer grow because they
were cooked. Huang Li is the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me an empty
flowerpot. Therefore, he is going to be the new emperor!”
