There was a storm in the kingdom.The royal gardener was at loss. Then, the man said to the gardener that he will clean the garden and will keep the litter with him.The gardener agreed at once. Then he said to the children who were playing that he will give them a candy for each leaf and twig they will collect. At no time the garden was cleaned and a pile was created.

The royal baker was finding fuel to bake the pots.He gave the man thousand coins for the twigs.The man befriends a merchant. The man went to a garden where many grass cutters were cutting grass with a jar full of water. He offered glasses of water to 500 cutters. The cutters were pleased and said you can tell us when you need our help.The merchant told the man that a horse merchant is coming to the city next month with 500 horses. Then he went to the grass cutters and said that please give me a bundle of grass each and don't sell yours till mine is sold. When the horse merchant couldn't buy grass anywhere else, he bought the man's grass for a thousand coins.
