11. THE STORY OF KING PRUDENCE
#Inspirational Moral Stories
King Prudence was a
very cautious king. Not trusting horses, he travelled
everywhere on foot.
His tired escorts told a magician to invent something
with a seat, which
would move on its own. The magician brought his new
invention, a
bicycle, to them two days later. The king ordered a minister to
show how it worked.
But the minister fell and broke his arm! On recovering,
the minister told
the magician they needed something better, with an entire
carriage. A week
later, the new invention, an automobile, was ready. This
time, the minister
dashed against a tree! King Prudence continued to walk
everywhere, until
the day he fell down and broke a leg! Then, he realised he
had wrongly blamed
the bicycle and automobile for causing accidents. At
once, he commanded
the magician to make horseless carriages for him and
the others at his
court.
