Brother´s and sister´s this is a nice story i wish from all to read
till the end.
The Wise King
In a far away land, there was a beautiful kingdom with
its unique rule. The rule said, Everyone may become the king, with
all of his rights to govern the country for five years. After that
he must be detained, his body will be tied and he will be thrown
away to remote island where the jungle is thick and there are
plenty of wild animals and no human.
Then, one by one, people became the king. The first man
said OK, I am ready to be the king. And he became a king for five
years. What he did in his five years was enjoying his position. He
threw big parties, went to many beautiful places, married many
women, collected many luxurious things and did the other things
that please him.
Those were all he did. Until one day the time came. One
morning when the king woke up, suddenly come the strong soldiers
came to his palace and said,We come to here under the order of
constitution. You have become a king for five years. And now the
time comes when we should seize you and take you to remote island.
The king wasnt very surprised of this, because he knew that the
time would come. He just felt that the time passed by too fast. He
had enjoyed himself in the past five years but now he had to leave
all the things that had made him happy, and would undergo living in
the very dangerous island. He was very scared but could do nothing
and had to accept his destiny with tears in his eyes.
And when they got there, the soldiers put the dethroned
king in jungle and left him alone. They didnt know and didnt care
about what would happen to him. All they heard when they left tha
island was just the voices of wild animals and the long scream of
the former king. And then silent again.
Back to the kingdom. The constitution was still
effective. And now, there is a second king. Then the time showed
that he behaved similarly with the first king. He used his time to
enjoy extravagant life, but after his five years was over, the
soldiers took him and brought him to the island. He cried on the
day he was thrown away to the remote island, and the voice of wild
animals mixed with his scream was heard after he was left alone
there.
Every other king was the same. Each one of them just
copied their predecessors story. Laugh in the beginning, but cry in
the end..
One day, a young man came and declared his wish to be
asking. By the constitution he was granted his wish. He would be a
king for five years before being thrown away to the island. But if
other kings would follow their passion for having fun after being
being inaugurated, he didnt. He realized that his time was only
five years. Even if he had a happy life in the five years, his life
as a king would come to an end.
So the king was always seen to be thinking. And not very
long after that, he made a suprising decision. I wont make an
extravagant live, but I shall attempt to use all of my power, even if i have
to suffer, to prepare my life at the remote island.
In the first year he sent troops, veterinarians, and
animals trainers to the dangerous island. The mission was to
control the population os wild animals there or domesticate them
for good use. Well the mission was so huge that it consumed a lot
of the countrys resources. But it was the kings decision and he had
calculated it, wand he was ready to make sacrifices. So, all things
had been used by all kings to have their fun, now is used by the
new king in this mission. He really dedicated all of his energy to
the mission. The mission was successfully done.
In the second year, he sent a lot of farmers to the island to start
a wide rice field there. In the third year, he built a lot of
facilities on the island, from electriyity to hospital. In the
fourth year, he sent a lot of educated people like engineers,
accountants, and many others to the island. In the fifth year, he
sent his friends and his relatives to the island.
And finally the time came when the king had to be thrown
away to the island.In the morning of the big day, the king smiled
his widest smile ever in five years.When many strong soldiers
caught and roped him, his smile grow wider. And finally he laughed
a great laugh when the soldiers threw him to the island.
Yes, how wouldnt he laugh? If the previous king found
thick jungle and so many wild animals when they were being thrown
away, the last king found many exciting things needed to live
comfortably. All of his family were there and welcomed him. They
cheered, Long live the wise king, long live the wise king!And the
wise king lived happily ever after.
The story has a very good lesson for all of us. Actually everyone
of us is like the king. We are given time to live in this world and
do whatever we want. But after the time ends, we will be detained
(by Izrail, the death angle), and being roped (with kafan) then
finally thrown away to the very dangerous place (grave, with its
snakes, scorpions and torturer angles)
So many people are tricked by their life in the world.
All they do in this world is all fun for them, and forget that the
time will come when they will face a very different life. And when
it happens, they are turtored and suffer forever.
But not with the clever people, they live in this world
to prepare their next life in the afterworld, just like the wise
king. This people will face death with a smile, because they will a
very good life in paradise. And the ending for these people is,
they live in true happiness forever.
