01.Racing Horses 田忌赛马
Long ago, China was divided into kingdoms. The kingdoms were often at war,

so good military leaders were important. One such leader was Tian Ji, a general in the
State of Qi.Tian Ji’s best friend was Sun Bin. Sun Bin had been a military official in the
State of Wei. After he was unfairly fired from his job, he moved to the State of Qi. Sun

Bin taught Tian Ji a lot about military strategy.At that time, horse racing was the most
popular entertainment for the rich. People bet money on the races. Tian Ji was a fan of
horse racing, but he wasn’t very good at betting.One day, Tian Ji again lost money at

Ji was, he said, “Take me with you next time. Maybe I can help you win!”A week

Ji won the second race. His first-class horse was better than the king’s second-class
horse.Finally, for the third race, Tian Ji used his second-class horse. Once again, he
