If the poor man had a shirt(2)

In winter, after once lunch, the general suddenly fell seriously ill and soon died. When the king buried him, he found that the old cloak general often wore was missing, so he asked people to look for it in the whole family, then in the whole palace, and then in the whole city. At the last a poor man in a broken cloak covered with snow was brought to the king.
 The king asked him, "are you still so happy?" The poor man replied, "yes, my king, I am still very happy." "Then from today on, you are my top general." "what? Because of this cloak? But..." "you wear a cloak that only generals wear, so you are a general."
