Costliest present
Long ago, there lived a king. Once when he was taking a stroll in his garden, a man came near him carrying a hen. when asked, man replied " I have won this hen in a gambling game in your name. Hence this hen belongs to you . Please accept".
King agreed and asked the man to give the hen to the chair person of his palace's animal ward. Man thanked king and went near the chair person. After some days, same man came near King now carrying a goat. When asked ,man repeated the same story that he had won the goat in a gambling game under the name of king. This time also,king accepted the present.
After some days, same man appeared before king with two men. King thought this time also, man had come with presents. When asked, man replied " I have lost the gambling game under your name. Now i owe money to these people. Its your duty to help me"
King could not say no since he had accepted presents when the man had won the gambling game. Now for that reason, he helped the man with money and advised him not to play gambling games under his name.
