Flattering

                                Flattering
Once there was a King. He had ministers and servants serving him. Once he decided to know who is truthful among them.
He went near a banana garden with his ministers. He said he want to rest in the banana garden. All the ministers agreed that since he is King of the state, it is his right to take rest at what ever place he wants. But then suddenly King said he will not rest in the banana garden since he may fall by stepping on to a banana peel. By hearing this, all the ministers said King is right. Since there is a chance of stepping on a banana peel, the King may hurt himself.
They said there is no one to look after the state besides King. Listening to this, King was very angry. He said to his ministers " You people are just noddig your head in approval to whatever I say. But you people have to verify me if I am wrong. You are just flattering me saying that whatever I say is right ".
Being said this, King dismissed all the ministers from work.
