Honesty Is The Best Policy

A king had a large number of slaves. One of them was very black. He was very honest and so the king liked him very much. One day the king went out on a horse. Some slaves went in front of the king others went behind the king. The black slave rode on a horse by the side of his master.

The king had a box and there were pearls in it. on the way the box fell down in a narrow street and it broke into pieces and the pearls rolled on the ground. The king said to his slaves go and take the pearls I do not want them any longer.

The slaves ran and gathered the pearls. The black slave did not leave his place. He was by the side of his master the king and guarded him. He did not go to pick the master pearls. He was honest servant. The king observed the attitude of the servant and gave him many gifts.
