    This first week of the course World Literature, I have read the story “Three Questions” by Leo

    Tolstoy. In the story, a king was the main character who was asking three questions to his people

    and a sage: When is the best moment to do something? Who are the most crucial individuals to

    interact with? What is the most crucial factor? (Tolstoy,1885).

    If I had lived in the world of the story, I would have been the king or a normal citizen of the

    kingdom. If I were a citizen, I would be worried as the King seemed not a talented one since he

    tried to seek the answer to those questions. If I were the King, I would spent time enjoying the

    precious moment of the presence, the “NOW”. I would treat well to all people and try my best to

    rule them and lead them to happiness.
