The Measure of Rice

by Ellen C. Babbitt

Dishonest king- Man named Valuer in his court

- his conscious?

jk- sets the price

he is honest

king did not like this

He saw a peasant and asked him to be the valuer.

Drove the original away

Peasant started setting prices

500 horses for some rice

People were unhappy

Original Valuer told him to go before the king and this court

The new valuer put a price on the kingdom

Was made fun of for not knowing the kingdom is priceless
