148. End
of the Evil Mind
There was a cruel
king who always believed in persecuting his subjects and expanding his status
with the money which was for the welfare of his subjects. One day, to their
utter amazement, the subjects found the king to be intensely benevolent and
benign. The president asked the king about his transformation. Thereupon the
king stated that once he was going through the forest. He noticed a fox was
being chased by a hound. Ultimately, the hound bit in the fox's leg. Meanwhile,
a passer-by threw a heavy stone at the hound. It broke the hound's leg. Now it
was the turn of the passer-by who was kicked by a horse when he was returning
to his house. The horse lost its balance and fell down into a pit. That day he
realized that bad things are cursed with bad mishap for sure. Immersed in deep
thought, the king did not see the steps in front of him and fell down, breaking
his neck.
Moral:
