Story of a very
intelligent king
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
There was a kingdom on a huge
river shore
In which
any one wanting to become
a king can become ,
A king for five
years and later they
would,
Be left to the
other shore of
the river.
The other shore
was a huge , thick forest,
Which was full of
very dangerous wild animals,
With no human beings living there,
And all kings will cry horribly while going there.
It was time for
one king to go to the other
shore,
He boarded the
royal boat with lot of joy,
And was
cracking jokes with all and the boat man,
Asked him, “don’t you know you will die within a day?”
He told , “first
year I sent thousand hunters
to hunt,
And kill all the
animals there and they killed all animals,
Nexrt year I send thousand expert farmers
, next year,
Thousand expert
builders who made a great town.
Last year I
transferred two thousand government servants,
With double salary, with
needed labour and ,
They have made it in to a great town, and I am going
there,
To be the king of the town for ever and ever.
The boatmen understood
and along with the king,
Settled in the new town with double
the salary.
