Many centuries ago One lived in the Forbidden City At nine years of age his father died leaving him the emperor of China The other was a nine-year-old peasant boy named Hu Wan
there were two boys
As Hu Wan worked in the garden beside his grandfather he could just barely see the tallest roof in the Forbidden City standing gold against the sky Is it true Grandfather that the City is filled with beautiful jewels Hu Wan asked I have heard it is so Grandfather answered but our eyes will never see them No one is allowed to enter the City unless invited by the emperor But do not forget you have beautiful treasures too
