      A long time ago an honest king ruled over a small kingdom named Bijanagar. Every day, the king would listen to the complaints of his people and try to solve their problems in the best possible way. One day, a soldier came running into the king’s court.  I have an alarming piece of newsLMy Lord! cried out the soldier. ‘My wife told me that there is some evil in our kingdom. Crops have been ruined and wells have been poisoned!’  When the minister heard this, he instantly walked up to the king and said. “I guess some enemy is trying to create panic in our kingdom, so that our attention gets diverted to solving our internal problems. And then the enemy will take advantage of our inner disturbances and attack us,” said the minister.

      You seem to be right! nodded the king. ‘What shall we do then?’ The minister said, ‘In my opinion, we should not let our people know that we suspect our enemy. It may give rise to contempt. Instead, we should distribute food and water among our people and tell them that the crops might have been damaged because of some disease. Meanwhile, I will disguise myself as an old man and try to find out the truth.’ The king agreed. That evening, the minister disguised himself as a poor old man and came out of the palace stealthily.

      The Minister went to a farmer’s house and called out, ‘Food! Please give me food!‘ The farmer Came out with two pieces of bread in his hand and said, This is all that I have, O old man!’ "You seem to be in trouble”, said the old man. ‘Yes, someone has been very .cruel. They have stamped and ruined my crops’, said the farmer. “But I heard the crops were ruined because of a disease,” said the 'old man. ‘No, that’s not true!’ the farmer interrupted. “The royal guards are the culprits. They have stamped our crops and poisoned our wells". ‘How can you be so sure?’ asked the old man. ‘I heard it from some peopIe at the inn nearby, replied the farmer.

      The old man thanked the farmer for the food and left. He then went to the inn nearby. He saw some people gathered near a table, discussing their ruined crops and wells. Among them were two young men talking loudly. "Our king didn't punish his royal guards for his wicked deed. Instead, he is trying to cover up by providing food to us!’ said one of them. ‘Yes, our king isn’t honest any more. He has lost his goodwill!’ backed up the other. Everyone standing there nodded in agreement. After a while, the two young men prepared to leave. The minister disguised as the old man was watching them. He started following the two young men. When they came out of the inn, one of the young men said, “We have provoked these people against their king. We must continue the same way. Within a couple of days, the angry citizens will revolt against their ruler. Then we should inform our king," and that would be the most appropriate moment to attack’, laughed the other young man. The Minister heard it all. He hid behind a tree. The two young men went inside a small hut. The minister came back to the palace and informed the king about the wicked plan of the other kingdom. Instantly the soldiers rode to the small hut where the two men are staying and captured them. The next morning the culprits were brought out in the palace for their evil plan and were punished for their deeds.
