　　The A Empire declined as a world power. It was decomposing into many small local authorities. Last year the peoples earnings decreased 20% because of the financial deficit. Many children in the poor area had calcium deficiency. From the facts, we deduced that the Empire was decaying. Who caused it? The people needed a definite answer. Then they found out that the emperor deceived them. His deceit was disgusting. He lived in decent conditions. His hall was decorated with deer horns. But he had never had decided opinions of his own. That was his fatal defect. The power of an emperor was defined by law, not by himself. A minister stepped forward boldly. He deemed it his duty to help his people. He dedicated his life to his people. So he made adeclaration of war against the emperor. The night deepened. The minister declined to drink with others. He stood on the deck. The wave swept over the deck. Tomorrow there would be a decisive battle. The deficiency of the battle plan was clear but it did succeed in the end. After the war, the minister reformed the duodecimal system into the decimal systems which improved the currency of money. The people defined him as a wonderful minister.

　　作為一個世界大國，A帝國衰落了。它正分解成許多小的地方政權。去年由于財政赤字，人們的收入減少了20%。許多貧困地區的兒童得了鈣缺乏癥。從這些事實我們推斷這個帝國正在衰退。是誰造成這種局面?人民需要一個明確的答案。然后他們發現是皇帝欺騙了他們。他的欺騙令人厭惡。他過著體面的生活。他的大廳用鹿角裝飾著。但他從沒有自己堅決的意見，這是他致命的缺點。一個皇帝的權力是由法律而不是他自己規定的。一名大臣挺身而出。他認為幫助人民是他的義務。他的一生都奉獻給他的人民。于是他發表宣言同皇帝作戰。夜深了。大臣謝絕了同別人飲酒。他站在甲板上。海浪沖刷著甲板。明天將有一場決定性的戰斗。作戰計劃的缺陷是很明顯的，但最終它還是成功了。戰后，大臣將十二進制改革成了十進制，促進了貨幣流通。人民給他下定義為一個極好的大臣。
