Text 1. A story of a king

Once there was an old king. He asked all his wise men to summarize all the knowledge in the world into one library of books. When they had done that, he told them to go back and summarize it into one book. Years later they returned with the single book and he told them to summarize it into one chapter. Then one page. Then one paragraph. Then one sentence. By the time this was done there was only one very old wise man still alive. The king told him to summarize the sentence into one word. He spent years on the task and, as he was dying, he wrote down the one word and gave it to his servant and died. The servant brought the piece of paper to the king ... but no one could read the old man’s writing!
