As the sultan’s next birthday approached, everyone in the kingdom started getting scared（嚇壞的）. On the morning of his birthday, they stayed in bed with their heads under their blankets-- too scared to get up and face the day.

Luckily most people had nothing to worry about.

But two of the sultan’s subjects（國民）, Ali and Baboo, had a lot to worry about- for they were told to go before the sultan.

“My challenge for you two,” roared the sultan to the shaking duo (兩人),” is a camel race.” The sultan stopped talking for a moment, to let what he had said sink in.

That doesn’t sound too bad, they both thought, although they didn’t say so, lest（以免）the sultan make the challenge harder.

The sultan knew that Ali and Baboo would like what they had heard. But he wasn’t getting soft in his old age.

There was something he hadn’t told them.

Just as Ali and Baboo started to feel good, the sultan started talking again. “The winner of the race is the person whose camel comes last!” he told them, with a huge grin on his face. “The loser will get five years in prison and a tattoo of his chest to remind him of his failure.”

1.Why did people stay in bed with their heads under their blankets?

2.Who had a lot to worry about?

3.Is the challenge a camel race ?

4.How many years would the loser be in prison?

5.What do you think of the sultan?
