The King & the Sage (7-5-2019)

The thick forest was becoming threatening for the hashtag#king, who was known as the bravest in 2000 miles. He was on the hunt of a beautiful deer & got separated from his people. Now alone, thirsty for hours, he was afraid of death something he never got afraid in Warfield. The pride attached with death removes the pain attached to death in war. When he knew that he will die today, he saw a sage coming. Sage asked, "Do you want water"? King nodded in yes. Sage smiled and told him "I have hardly a glass of water, which is dirty, muddy & I'll only give this if you are ready to give me half of your empire." King agreed, drank that dirty water and moved ahead in hope. But within half an hour he got seriously ill. He fell down from horse & started waiting for his last breath. Surprisingly, the same sadhu came to him & offered a medicine but only if he agrees to give him remaining half empire. King Agreed. The story does not end here, but.. Think, for how many things you'll sacrifice every single penny you have earned till now? Life itself, relationships, love, Nation, etc. What is more important in Life? Smile of your kid or pleasures bought by money. What about the blessing of your parents? Do you value the air you inhale? Anupam S. Shlok hashtag#Anupamism
