Amram: Then the king turned his horse off the road and onto the
grass. He kept his horse on the grass a little way before turning back onto the road.
Queen: Did he say why he stopped and then turned his horse off the road?
Amram: King Solomon told us he had seen some ants hurrying along
in the sand of the road. He said he had heard them say they were afraid that the horses would walk on them.
Queen (Surprised): And that was why your mighty king turned off the road?
Amram (Proud)：Yes, your Majesty. The mighty King Solomon stopped to hear what the little ants
in the sand were saying. He turned off the road to save them from being hurt.

Queen: I won’t fully believe it until I see and hear him myself, Amram.
Amram: Then why don’t you come to our country and pay him a visit, your Majesty?
Queen: Yes, I think I shall do that, Amram. But first I must think of a way to test this wise king. You may go now, Amram,
