"You hit the nail on the head! You have always been thinking about selling copper to make money. Have you ever thought about using the copper for your own use?" The Prime Minister applauded.
"For personal use?"
"You mean..."
"Oh my God! How is this possible?"
The high priest and the three generals couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
After being enlightened by the Prime Minister, everyone recalled an event that happened more than a hundred years ago.
