Idiom story

In the Han Dynasty, there was a small country named Yelang in the southwest. Although it was an independent country, its territory was very small, its people were few, and its products were even less. However, as Yelang is the largest neighboring country, the king of Yelang, who never left the country, thought that the country he ruled was the largest in the world. One day, when the Yelang king and his subordinates were inspecting the border, he pointed to the front and asked, "which country is the biggest here?" In order to cater to the king's wishes, the subordinates said, "of course, it's the biggest Yelang country!" As he walked, the king looked up at the high mountain in front of him and asked, "is there any higher mountain in the world than this one?" The subordinates replied, "there is no higher mountain in the world than this one." Later, when they came to the river, the king asked, "I think this is the longest river in the world." The subordinates still replied with one voice: "the king is right at all." From then on, the ignorant King believed that Yelang was the biggest country in the world. On one occasion, the Han Dynasty sent envoys to Yelang. On the way, they passed by Yelang's neighboring country Dian. The king of Dian asked the envoys, "which country is bigger than Han Dynasty and my country?" The messenger was startled. He did not expect that this small country could be compared with the Han Dynasty. But I didn't expect that when the emissary came to Yelang Kingdom, the proud and ignorant king didn't know that the country he ruled was only about the size of a county in the Han Dynasty. He didn't know that the heaven was high and the earth was thick, and asked the emissary, "which country is big between the Han Dynasty and my country?"
