很久很久以前，有一个皇帝管理很多王国。有红王国、绿王国、花王国、高山王国、

铁观音王国和乌龙王国。每个王国都有自己的茶。有一天，皇帝说他最喜欢喝红茶。

说完以后大家都买红茶所以红王国很富有。但是别的王国都很生气因为他们都想很富

有。绿王国去跟皇帝说他们的茶最好。绿茶有个苦的味道别的茶都没有但是绿茶很健

康。花王国说他们的茶最漂亮和最香。花茶最好！高山王国也去跟皇帝说他们的茶最

好。他们的茶很香也很贵因为很麻烦去种。铁观音对皇帝说我们的茶最贵！我们的茶

最好！不要听别的王国的假话。说完以后，乌龙王国不同意。他们说铁观音就是一种

乌龙茶。乌龙茶才是最好的茶。听完每个王国的陈述，皇帝决定该喝什么茶。为了对

每个王国都公平，他决定和全世界分享各种茶。

A long 7me ago, there was an emperor who managed many kingdoms. Black Kingdom, Green Kingdom, Flower Kingdom, Mountain Kingdom, the Kingdom of Tieguanyin and the Oolong Kingdom. Each kingdom has its own tea. One day, the emperor said his favorite drink is black tea. So everyone started buying red tea and the Red Kingdom became very rich. The other kingdoms became angry because they wanted to be very rich. . . .
