THE MAD KING AND HIS FAITHFUL WIFE #Inspirational Moral
Stories
A king
once turned his wife out after living happily with her for long. The
queen
could not understand his behaviour: Was it jealousy? Did someone
poison
his ears against her? Had he become slightly unsound? Whatever the
reason,
the queen loved him and did not wish to leave. The king granted one
concession
and told his wife: ‘You can take to your parents’ house, what you
hold
most valuable and dear, from the palace.’
The next
day, the king woke up in a bed and room that were not his! He
called
out to his servants. Instead, his queen came running in. Surprised to
see her,
he asked: ‘Where am I?’
The
queen tearfully reminded him that as he had promised she could take
what she
valued most to her parents’ house, she had made the servants carry
him
while he slept! Remorseful of his behaviour, the king apologised and
embraced
his queen. Happily they went back to their palace.
