Selfishness

                                                Selfishness

Long ago, there was king. He was very adamant. He was always saying that things must go as he says. His people were fed up of this.
One day, a saint had come to their state. People asked for the solution for the problem with him. Saint assured them that he will make the king to realise his mistake.
Days passed. One day king was on hunting and he came near the hut of the sage. That time, one of youngest discipline of saint dragged the sword of king and went inside the hut with the sword. King came near the hut yelling at the boy.
That time, saint came outside and asked the king what happened? King said one of saint's disciplines had dragged the sword of his and went inside the hut. Instantly, saint tried to calm the king saying that he will bring back the sword.
Saint went inside and came out with varieties of swords. He asked king to pick his own. Now king is really in a fix. Because he really didnt know which one is his. Seeing silence  of king, saint said it is difficult for you to identify your own sword. How can you expect others to follow your instrucions?
King realised what does the saint mean to say. He vowed that he will change his attitude hence after.
