单选题
There is a bad king. One day he is swimming by
himself in the river. While he is in the middle of the river,
he feels ill. He cries out, "Help! Help!" At that time two farmers are working
near the river. They run over, jump into the water and saved him. They don't
know that he is the king until he is pulled out of the water.
The king says to the farmers, "Now you may ask for anything and I will give them
to you！" One of the farmers says, "My son broke his leg last
week, and he still can't walk well. Would you please send him to a good
doctor?" The king agreed. Then he speaks to the other farmer.
He is old and clever. The king asks, "And what can I do for you, old
man?" The old man answers, "You can do one thing for
me." "What's that?" asks the king. "Don't tell
other people that we saved you." The old man answers.
