Once open a time in China there lived an old virtuous king who had no heir to his throne. He was nearing death so he decided to hold a contest to find his heir.
He had his men advertise the contest. The eldest son from every household attended. Now the contest was a unique one. The king handed every boy a flower seed. He stated,"The boy who grows the most beautiful flower shall inherit my kingdom. Come back in 6 months.
All the boys rushed home to plants there seeds. We shall follow the view of a honest boy named Wong Fei Hung. He came from a poor family and he was a lonely only child. He tended his plant day and night. His gaze never falter from the pot in which his seed was planted. Though he watered it and fed it well it would not grow. 4 months past and still nothing. Hung began to worry and feel bad.
6 months were up and the child still had nothing in his pot. he was afraid to go to the king but he braved it anyways. When he arrived at the castle all the other boys had beautiful flowers and exotic plants from foreign lands. The king inspected all the plants uninterested until. At last he came to Hung's pot and asked,"Hung why do you not have nothing in your pot?" Hung almost burst into tears but held it in.
But the king suddenly turned to all the other boys and exclaimed,"Hung has won the contest. All the seed I gave you boys were boiled. There was no possible way for them to grow. Hung is my heir."
That is my tale.
