The king who

could not do without


his servant
Once upon a time
King had a young
servant. He was
there from his
childhood. Everyday
he worked very hard
to make sure that
the king was
comfortable. The
king never even
noticed him, as his
work seemed
unimportant for the
king.
One day this man
dropped glass vase
while the king was
sleeping. The noise
woke up the king and
got very angry. “Get
out of my sight!” he
shouted and never
come back.” The
poor man cried for a
while, but the king
ignored him. So he
left the palace.
The king’s servant
had worked with him
whole his life and now
he had no idea where
to go. So he went to
the minister and told
him the whole story.
“Come with me and
stay a few days with
us. The king will call
you back on his own.”
The young went and
stayed with the
minister.
The king got a
new servant,
but things
were never
the same.

Every thing
something or
other went
wrong.
The king remembered his old
servant but he would not call him
back as he was too proud. The
minister saw all this and then he
asked the king, “What’s the
matter your highness? Why are
you so disturbed?”
“So many small things are going
wrong. No one here knows how to look
after me anymore”, he said. “Perhaps
you should get your old servant back”,
said the minister. “How can I call him
back? I am a king!”, King said. “Well”,
asked the minister, “what if he comes
back to you?”. “That’ll be nice”,
replied the king, “ I promise I will
never throw him out in anger again.
I’m sorry that I acted hastily.”
The servant
came back
and the king
was happy
once again!
There are times we
get angry but we
must calm down and
not react to anger.
