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.
普鲁士国王(1740-86)腓特烈大帝和任何人一样喜欢恶作剧。他还是军校学生的时候,曾经和一些年轻军官被兵团的牧师批评。他们于是报复,先打破牧师寝室的窗子,然后掷进一巢狂蜂。那牧师和怀孕的妻子仓皇起床逃遁,被蜜蜂追跑过庭院,最后躲到粪堆旁。
