Once
upon a time, there was a King who was commanding a large state. One
day the King was sitting with his minister, King’s mood was very pleasant. He asked
his minister, “What is a wish of his life which you always thought to be
fulfilled, which never happened”. The minister was shy to put his demand but
the K insisted to tell about his wish. The minister said. “Your majesty, you
have a beautiful large state under your command, if you agree, I want to get ten percent of your beautiful state, I want to command that part of State”.
The king said, “if I give you half of my
kingdom, What will you do”? Minister got nervous about this statement of Kind and
was thinking, how it is possible, how he could be so lucky? The king
immediately called the secretary and ordered him to write two orders. In the
first order, the king issued a decree of handing over half of his kingdom to
his minister. In the second order, the King ordered to behead of the minister. The
Minister was surprised and got afraid of both orders. The king sealed the
orders and told the minister that you have thirty days. You have to find
answers to only three questions in thirty days. If you will succeed then I will
reject my second order and I will give you half of my kingdom. And if you failed
to do so, I will reject my first order and according to my second order, your
head will be taken off. Then the king asked three questions as below:.
”What
is the greatest truth of human life?
What is the biggest deception of human life?
What is the greatest weakness of human life?
After
that, the king said that your time begins. The Minister gathered the intellectuals
across the country and argued with different persons day and night, but got no
fruitful result. The Minister tried his level best to consult all the wise
people of the state but of no gain, he was unable to get any satisfactory
answer. He was disappointed and also afraid as the days were passing fast
and he was seeing himself dead after completion of thirty days
One
day, he walked towards the forest desperately and was thinking of his foolish
demand which has endangered his life. He crossed by a hut, where he saw a poor
man sitting with his dog. The poor man was eating dry pieces of bread after dipping
them in a glass of water, while the dog was drinking milk from a bowl.
The Minister was very surprised to see the poor, he asked the same three questions from the poor. The poor man said, “I will answer the first two questions but for the third question you have to accept my condition”. The Minister accepted to do so. The poor man gave answers to the first two questions and said, “The greatest truth of life is Death. The biggest deception is life”. On the third question, The poor man said the minister to drink the remaining milk from the dog’s bowl but the minister denied to do so. The poor said, “ I will not give you an answer to the third question if you didn’t fulfill my condition, so be ready to beheaded”. The minister got afraid and drank milk from the dog’s bowl. Then the poor gave the answer to the third question,
“The greatest weakness of a human is his behoof (need)”.
