Chinese short Story with pinyin and translations

Описание: In ancient times, the King of Qi loved listening to a musical instrument called the yu, and he always had three hundred musicians play it together.

A man named Nan Guo, who couldn't play the yu at all, wanted to infiltrate the musicians and earn a wage. He approached the king, claiming he was very skilled at playing the yu. The king believed him and allowed him to join the orchestra.

During each performance, Nan Guo would stand among the musicians, pretending to play the yu with his hands and mimicking their movements, appearing just as earnest as everyone else. Because there were so many people, the king and the others never noticed that he couldn't play the yu (a type of reed pipe).

Later, the old king passed away, and a new king ascended the throne. The new king also enjoyed listening to the yu, but he didn't want everyone to play together; he preferred that the musicians perform individually.

Nan Guo knew he could no longer hide his identity. Fearing discovery, he secretly packed his belongings and fled that very night.
