King's Lesson

Once a King got angry over his minister and ordered him to put him in jail but that didn't help his ego either. Minister asked him for forgiveness and said that he is a widower and without him, his son would be left alone with no guardian. So the King decided to put his son in jail as well.

The father and son were put in jail within an hour after King declared. King would secretly spy on them to see if the Minister was suffering because of his audacity but to his surprise, they were living quite well.

The Minister was given warm water to shower like most prisoners. The King remembered that he suffered from some illness that required him to do, so he ordered him to stop giving him hot water. After some days, he again spied on them to find that the son was using the lantern in the prison cell to warm the water. The King then ordered to remove the lantern or any other source of fire from their cell. 

When King spied on his Minister after few days again, he was shocked to find that his son was clinging to a vessel filled with water to heat it with the warmth of his body. The King realised that he couldn't win and ordered to release of the Minister and his son.
