Answer: The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

A summary should focus on all the important details of a passage. Moreover, it should eliminate all the irrelevant, lengthy or unimportant details of a text. In this case, there are two important elements: the fact that the emperor gives out awards, and the fact that the way to earn one is by jumping over and under a stick. This answer includes both elements.
