"一匹马一匹马我的王国换一匹马"
— William Shakespeare

Simplified Meaning:
In a moment of desperation, someone might trade something very valuable just to get what they urgently need. Imagine a king in a dangerous battle. His horse gets hurt and he falls to the ground. He is surrounded by enemies and can't escape. In that moment, he would give up his entire kingdom just to have a new horse to ride to safety. This shows that sometimes, what we might usually see as most important can become less vital in a life-or-death situation. In everyday life, it teaches us to recognize what is truly essential at critical times. For example, a person stuck in a burning building might abandon everything they own just to get out alive. It reminds us to focus on what truly matters in urgent situations.
