There was a king. The king wanted to know the

for him to start something? What people he ought to pay attention to; and above
all, what was the most important thing for him to do. The king sent messengers
throughout his kingdom promising a huge reward for the man who would give right
answers to his three questions. Different persons came to the king with their
different answers but the king was not satisfied with their answers. So, he did
not give the promised reward to anyone. The king decided to seek the advice of

met only ordinary persons. The king put off his royal clothes and bodyguards
