So, all of the time he was seen attacking neighbour countries and doing war with them. Because of this, the administration of his kingdom have fallen to wrong hands. People were spending a tough time.
Then, all of them went near a sage and asked him to help them. Sage asked them not to worry. Then he went near King. King received the sage with great honour. When King asked Sage the reason for his arrival. Then sage demanded few thimgs. King readily ordered them.
Sage wanted rice to eat.King ordered that. But sage wanted still more. King ordered for more rice. But the sage was not happy with that much rice also. He wanted still more. But the vessel containing rice was empty. King ordered for fresh rice to be made.
After that also,sage was asking for more rice. King was helpless. Finally , he said he is unable to fulfill sage's order. Then sage said even one has more, he is able to have them only till his abilities. So he said king "You have large kingdom. Then what is the use of expansion? Try to give people a good administration. That is enough ".
King understood what the sage mean. He dropped his expansion plans. He became popular among people for good administration.
