frederick the great, king of prussia (1740-86), was as willing as the next man to play pranks. while still a cadet, he and some young officers once took revenge on a regimental chaplain who had criticised them. they first smashed the windows of his bedroom and then threw into the room a hive full of angry bees. the chaplain and his pregnant wife were driven from their bed, across the courtyard and eventually to the side of a dunghill.
普魯士國王(1740-86)腓特烈大帝和任何人一樣喜歡惡作劇。他還是軍校學生的時候,曾經和一些年輕軍官被兵團的牧師批評。他們于是報復,先打破牧師寢室的窗子,然后擲進一巢狂蜂。那牧師和懷孕的妻子倉皇起床逃遁,被蜜蜂追跑過庭院,最后躲到糞堆旁。
