This thought occurred every day in his mind. One day he had proclaimed throughout his kingdom that he would give a reward who would teach him how three questions.


Many learned men came to the king, but all answered differently. In reply to his first question, many learned men told the king that to knew the right time he should make a time table and strictly follow. His courtiers said that it was impossible to decide beforehand the time. Many people told that the only magician knows the right time. He believes that his countries or his learned man told him the answer to his first question but not. 

  

To reply to his second question. Some said most needed people were his councilors, others said priest, others the doctors while some said the warrior was most necessary.

    

To reply to his third question some said the most most important thing is occupation., others said science is the most important, some said religion. But no one answer is correct.

The auntie set and king said to the hermit,' I came to you for an answer if you can give none tell me and I will return home. ' The king turned round And saw a man come running Out of the wood the man held his hands pressed against the stomach and the blood is flowing from his stomach. The king takes his handkerchief and he washed it as he takes best. Then the blood is not flowing the king took bandage to the wound and took him to the room of the hermit. After some time the man revived and asked for something to drink. The king fresh water and gave to him. Then the man has closed his eyes and quiet. The king was also tired and sleep at the threshold. When the man awoke in the morning and saw that the king was looking at him he said, "Forgive me!"

" You don't know but I knew you. I am enemy of your because you executed my brother and seized his property I knew that you alone went to the hermit house and I resolved to kill you but you don't come and so I came out of my ambush to find you and I came upon your bodyguard and they wounded me. I wished you to kill you but you save my life. Now if you wish to live me or not. The king very glad to have peace with his enemy and he made him a friend. Then the man was gone.
