Advantage of physical hard work

                                Advantage of physical hard work
Once upon a time there lived a king. He had a large kingdom. able ministers and also able servants. He had no worries at all. Everyone used to get jealous of his luxury. But all is not well. King was not getting proper sleep at the night. It seemed like ages that he had a sound sleep.
Doctors came and gave medicines to king for sleeplessness. But bad luck of king, nothing worked on him. King's problem persisted. King followed all the advice offered to him on this matter. Nothing gave good result. One day, king was spending a sleepless night as usual.
He was fed up of his problem. He decided to disguise himself as an ordinary man and thought of roaming in his kingdom . Like this, he will come to know the problems faced by people. He went out of his palace. On the street, he saw a man who was sleeping on road. King got jealous of him. Being a king, with all the luxury around him he cant sleep at nights. And here this man is having a sound sleep.
King waited there itself till the man gets up. When he got up, King asked him his doubt that how he can have a sound  sleep on such a busy road ! The man didnt answer but took king to the nearby construction site. There the man is working as labourer. He asked king to get the job there and that will answer his question. King took up the job as labourer there.
King was made to lift stones and iron rods etc. By all this work, king was so tired that his whole body started aching. He took a break and returned to his palace. There he dressed as a king and sat to have lunch. While having lunch , he was getting drowsy. So, he returned to his room to have sleep. What a miracle ! King got a sound sleep.
Then king realised its all because of the physical work he had done in construction site. Then he realised the importance of physical work. He got tired because he has done physical work and had a sound sleep. He decided that atleast his work he will do from nowonwards.
