King: Than why all these formalities talk to me as a friend.
Minister: King, Oh Sorry! , Swarna I have come here to talk to you regarding concern on the new work decision on the poor.
King: Alright! Any objections to that?
Minister: Oh Swarna, who I'm to an object? I request you to do a few observations on this new plan. Thereafter take up your final decision on it. Hence request you to visit one family. Much was suitable for observation. After observation declares this new plan to the citizen. Until the observation please hold the new rule.
The king liked his friend's suggestions. While the Minister's request, he went the same night with some gold coins and as a common man. As said by the minister he went to the same house.
King waited till morning and sat on a bundle. He gave them gold coins and told them to use for there food.
At first, they denied finally thinking this would help the food for the evening took the coins. King asked them permission if he could sleep on that bundle for some time as he was sleepy.
It was evening, the lady at the house has cooked delicious food. The King could see their family happy. On seeing that he was happy that he has taken good decisions. Everything got upside done as one of the pet animals die after eating the food prepared by the lady. She was so scared to see that and she started to cry. What if her son would have had it? Would have lost him.
She started to curse herself for taking money with no good deed. Lady came outdoor of the house gave remaining money to the young boy saying. Oh, My child, I became so greedy seeing money. Now she realized that anything that comes without sweat isn't good for health. Please take this money and forgive me for using the remaining money.
But the king questioned what was the reason? She told her pet died eating food prepared by her. As the lizard was by mistake fall in it. If this food was intake by her son would have lost her son's life.
My mother used to tell me that money which comes without any sweat isn't good for healthy food so please take it.
The king realizes that it isn't good to give everything for free to everyone. It would be a great mistake without check if they are worth receiving. Similarly, he realized that giving everything for free makes people lazy. This would cause mental imbalance.
The King thanked the minister for bringing him to the correct path. If he had given everything for free, he would be under great loss to the kingdom and likewise for people's life.
