Another actor heard of this and offered to perform for the King too. Knowing this, the king became furious and said, "Last time I was in a good mood, so I gave out a lot of largess. You must have come for the rewards. I loathe(讨厌) this type of person like you very much."
After saying this, the king ordered his arrest. By the time this unfortunate actor was released, a whole month had passed.
宋国有一个靠高超的杂技技艺为生的人,特地进宫去给宋元君表演自己的专长,宋元君看后,十分惊讶,赏赐给他许多东西。
另一个艺人听说这件事后,也要求给宋元君专场演出。宋元君听说后,大发雷霆,说:“上次正赶上我心情愉快,所以赏赐得多了一些。你肯定也是冲着赏赐来的。我对你这种人最为厌恶。”
说完后,宋元君下令把他关起来。一个月后,这个倒霉的艺人才被放出来。
