[06:43.96]Many centuries ago, [06:48.53]a group of Jews landed in India and immediately went to the king [06:56.09]They told him that they were lost and wanted to settle in his kingdom. [07:03.97]In those days any foreigner was viewed with suspicion [07:10.70]So the king was hesitant about letting them in [07:16.75]He sent for one glass of milk and one glass of water [07:23.16]He asked the leader of the Jews to taste the milk [07:28.70]Then he poured out some milk and added some water [07:35.62]He asked the leader to taste the milk again and said:" [07:41.74]What is the difference in taste?" [07:46.09]The leader said:"The second time the milk tastes terrible [07:54.23]"That is because of the water added to the milk," said the king [08:00.53]"The water dilutes the milk and spoils its taste [08:06.61]So you too your addition will spoil the kingdom [08:13.24]The leader of the Jews thought for a moment and asked for another glass of milk [08:21.66]He then added sugar to the milk and asked the king to taste it [08:28.18]It tastes sweet," said the king. [08:33.65]The leader of the Jews bowed his head and said:"Oh, king [08:41.24]That is how we would like to live here [08:46.28]as the small amount of sugar which sweetens the large quantity of milk [08:52.94]and not as the water which dilutes the milk [08:58.67]Please with him the king granted them permission to stay. [09:05.80]Exercise 2 [09:09.11]Directions: [09:12.38]Listen to the story again and discuss in pairs the following questions.
