The Kind King and The Fisherman

Once upon a time there was a kingdom ruled by a renounce king. He was fond of fish. He loves to eat and fishing in his nearest pond. One day he arranged a feast for his birthday. So he went to the Queen's pond to get the fish. But he didn't catch any fish on that day. There was no big fish available in his Queen's pond. He ordered to a fisherman to bring a big fish. The fisherman brought a big fish for his king. While he enters the kingdom the gatekeeper stopped him there. The gatekeeper said that I can allow you if you give me half of your fees.

The fisherman agreed with the gatekeeper. The king was very happy to get the fish. He asked the price of the fish. The fisherman replied one hundred silver coins. The king was shocked. But he ordered his chief minister to give him hundred silver coins.

When the fisherman had got hundred silver coins, he said, Your Majesty! I have a partner with this dealing. So fifty coins will go to him it is the kingdom’s gate keeper. The king understood that and he paid to the gatekeeper fifty coins. After that he was dismissed due to his greed

Moral: Greed is a curse.
