Once upon a time there was a queen who ruled a very small country. She loved her people like her own children, and they loved her very much. The queen had three generals under her, a bearded man, a fat man, and a bald man. These three generals led their soldiers to defend their country.

One day, a savage foreigner came to this beautiful country. He saw the beauty and luxury of the queen, as well as the fertility of the country's land and the wealth of resources. His jealousy and greed broke out wildly, and he vowed to take it all for himself. So, disaster struck, and the foreigner led the mercenaries to start a savage invasion. Three generals led the soldiers to resist desperately, but they were outnumbered. The foreigner was victorious, and was about to occupy the country soon. He gave the Queen two options: one is to submit to him immediately, and the other is to continue to resist until all the citizens were slaughtered.

The three generals agreed that they couldn't submit it to the madman, and they couldn't watch their noble queen fall into the clutches of the devil, so they jointly wrote a petition and sent it to the queen, asking to lead all the soldiers to fight to the death. The queen read every word on the petition seriously, shook her head, and said sadly: "A long time ago, there were two women competing in the court for a child. They both said that they were the child's biological mother. The judge drew a circle on the ground, let the child stand in the center, and let the two women pull one of the child's arms. Whoever pulled the child across the line, the child belonged to whoever. A woman immediately gave up her rights when she heard it, because she was afraid of hurting the child in pulling. This woman is the child's biological mother."

The bearded general said, "Queen, you are the noblest, and we will protect you to death." The Queen shook her head and said, "What am I compared to the lives of these young soldiers? The three generals bowed their heads and shed tears. The bearded general knelt on the ground and said sadly, "You gave up the war. Although you saved the lives of your soldiers and gave peace to your people, how can we watch you be tortured by that devil?" The queen shook her head calmly and said, "No, I will not give in to that devil! Tonight, I will leave you to visit the soldiers who died in the war. I will accompany them." The generals heard this and understood that the queen was going to kill herself, but how could they let the queen die? So they persuaded the queen one by one, but the queen remained silent and did not agree to the generals' request. The three generals sat around the palace, very sad in their hearts. They knew that any persuasion was useless, but they loved their queen so much that no one was willing to let her go like that. At this moment, the bearded general stood up and said, "Since we can't stop the noble queen from committing suicide, let's give her a special gift." Then he told the fat man and the bald man what he thought. As soon as the bearded man finished his idea, the other two generals stood up and agreed firmly. The bearded man immediately got up to get ready, and then they went to the Queen and asked the Queen to have dinner with them, and they were to give the gift to the Queen herself at dinner. The Queen smiled and agreed, and said, "I have a special gift for you too." It was the most sumptuous dinner in the history of this country, and the table was filled with delicacies from the mountains and seas. The Queen raised her wine glass and gave a glass of wine to the courtiers present. She drank the wine in one gulp, and her face immediately became flushed, and she looked more and more beautiful and charming. All the people present cheered and shouted, "Long live the queen!" At this time, the bearded man led the fat man and the bald head to the queen, and the three of them raised their wine glasses and said reverently, "This glass of wine is for the queen." The Queen looked at their wine glasses and smiled, "Where did your wine come from? Drink quickly, I'm done, and I want to give you a precious gift." The bearded man nodded, raised his head, and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The fat man and the bald head also raised the wine glasses, and both drank the wine in the glass. The bearded man took an envelope out of his pocket, handed it to the queen, and said, "This is our gift to you!" The queen handed the letter to the attendant, motioned him to open it, and read it to her. The attendant took the letter, and just as he read "Dear Queen", the bearded man fell to the ground with a "plump" sound. His eyes were wide open, and bright red blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body trembled violently. The queen was startled, stepped forward and hugged the bearded man in her arms, calling out to the imperial doctor, but it was useless, and the bearded general died in the queen's arms soon. Before the queen had time to stroke the bearded man's eyes, the fat man and the bald man also fell to the ground one after another. The queen hurriedly ran over, hugged them, and shouted their names loudly. Soon the fat man and the bald man died in the queen's arms one by one. The queen cried sadly, and asked the imperial doctor who had come to hear the news what had happened. The imperial doctor said that the three generals seemed to have been poisoned. The queen was angry and ordered the attendants around her: "Find out who poisoned me immediately? Poor children, they died before I could give them the gift." The attendant did not say a word and sadly handed the generals' letter to the queen. The Queen took the letter and saw it written: "Dear Queen: You insist on suicide, we can't dissuade you, so we have to walk in front of you, so that you will not feel lonely when you die, we will wait for you in heaven, or be your courtiers… This is our gift to you." After reading the letter, the Queen couldn't stop crying. She took a letter from her arms and said, "My children, you are too impatient to die without looking at my gift. My gift to you is this: I decided not to commit suicide, because I couldn't let go of my people, I was worried that our people would be miserable under the rule of that madman, so I decided to live, use my virtue and wisdom to influence him, and let him love everyone in our country like me. "This gift is so precious, but the three generals will never receive it again. However, since then, no one in this country has lost confidence, let alone committed suicide.
