Bitter pill can be presented as a
sweet syrup
Retold by
P.R.Ramachander
(this is an old folk tale which was posted by my face
book friend Bhanu Ravi .Please judge for yourself whether
it is a bitter pill or sweet
syrup. )
One great king one
day saw a dream ,
In which he saw
himself without any teeth,
And since he was
not knowing what it meant,
He sent for all
the great astrologers of his
country.
One astrologer
after examining many great books
told,
“It indicates that
all your family members would die before you,”
The infuriated
king ordered that this astroger
be imprisoned,
And then all his
other invitees started shivering to open their mouth.
However a
wise young man , again
examined his great nook and told,
“Oh king , you
will live very long , much longer than
all your family members”.
And the king was
greatly pleased , honoured
him and gave him presents.
And so though you tell the truth do tell it in a
sweet way and not the bitter way.
