There was a
king. The king wanted to know the answers to his three questions. The three
questions were, what was the right time for him to start something. What people
he ought to pay attention to; and above all, what was the most important thing
for him to do. The king sent messengers throughout his kingdom promising a huge
reward for the man who would give right answers to his three questions.
Different persons came to the king with their different answers but the king
was not satisfied with their answers. So, he did not give the promised reward
to anyone. The king decided to seek the advice of a hermit who was widely
famous for his wisdom. The hermit lived in a wood and met only ordinary
persons. The king put off his royal clothes and bodyguards and went to the
hermit as an ordinary person. The hermit at that time was digging the earth. He
greeted the king. The king took Pity on the hermit and began to work in place
of him and put his three questions before the hermit.
