One day he  decided he was tired of looking like everyone else and wanted to dress  in bright beautiful colors.<\/p>\n<p>While on the street the governor, Mr. Mo, passed by in his sedan  chair. He was wearing a bright beautiful golden robe, and all the towns&#8217;  people stopped to bow to him. Mr. Mo held his head high and ignored  them.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Chang loved the yellow robe and was impressed by the governor&#8217;s  im<em><\/em>portance. He went to the tailor and asked for a mandarin&#8217;s yellow robe  for himself.<\/p>\n<p>The tailor was shocked at such a request for o<em><\/em>nly the most im<em><\/em>portant  people were allowed to wear such a robe. Mr. Chang insisted. The tailor  happened to have one in a trunk and sold it to Mr. Chang, but again  warned him not to wear it in public.<\/p>\n<p>Each day Mr. Chang would arrive home, put on his golden robe, look at  himself in the mirror and feel im<em><\/em>portant. When he went out he put his  plain clothes over the golden robe to co<em><\/em>nceal it. He soon took on a  haughty air, not speaking or looking at his neighbors, just walking  alone with his head held high.<\/p>\n<p>One day as he was resting on a river bank wearing his golden robe he  heard the screams of two little girls. They had been playing badminton  and their shuttlecock was in the river. <br \/>  Mr. Chang jumped up to help them. They saw his golden robe and told him  not to bother for he was too im<em><\/em>portant to help with such a small task.  Mr. Chang ignored the comments of the little girls and retrieved their  shuttlecock. After returning the shuttlecock to the girls he hurried  away to cover his golden robe.<\/p>\n<p>As he was returning home a dog grabbed the hem of his plain clothes  exposing his yellow robe hidden underneath. The people saw this, had him  arrested and taken before Mr. Mo.<\/p>\n<p>The governor was furious at Mr. Chang for wearing the golden robe and  wanted to punish him. The two little girls Mr. Chang had helped were  hiding behind a pillar and heard their father speaking in harsh to<em><\/em>nes to  Mr. Chang. They rushed to Mr. Chang&#8217;s rescue.<\/p>\n<p>The girls told their father how Mr. Chang had helped them. Mr. Mo was  grateful and invited Mr. Chang to the palace the next night for a  fireworks display. He would be permitted to wear the golden robe for one  night.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Chang did not go to the palace but stayed home wearing his plain  clothes. After the fireworks he gazed at the stars and decided that he  was like them, &quot;not as bright as the sun or moon but special just like  each of the stars.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-3677323804\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each day Mr. Chang went about his business dressed  in his plain colored clothes, black hat and black shoes.
