Whose servant?

                                       Whose servant? 

It was a kingdom. King was treating his people very well. He had an ambition to talk with people and to know their opinion about his rule.
Likewise, king disguised himself and was preparing to leave. That time, his minister came to talk with him. Minister wanted to go with king. King agreed.
Both of them started their journey. They were meeting the people and were trying to know their opinion about King's rule.
Likewise, they reached a village. As it was getting dark, they decided to spend the night there. They asked for shelter near a farmer.
Farmer happily agreed . He just brought the brinjals which were grown in his own farm land. He wanted to serve them the dishes of brinjals.
He informed the visitors about the fact. Soon , he prepared the food and served them dinner. As he had told, dinner menu was full of brinjal dishes.
King liked the dishes very much and praised them too. Minister , by seeing King's appreciation note, started praising the dishes. Minister told that out of all vegetables, brinjal is the best one!
Farmer was happy that the visitors had liked the dishes. He gave bag full of brinjals to visitors. Both of them left the place and returned to palace.
King gave the bag which is full of brinjals to royal chef. By seeing the King himself handing over the bag, chef figured out that King liks the dishes made of brinjals. Soon , he started preparing the dishes of brinjals and serving the King.
This development had led to uneasiness of King . Everyday only brinjal dishes ! King was fed up of it . Soon , he started complaining too.
Seeing King's mentality, minister has also condemned that no dishes must be prepared out of brinjals and brinjal is the worst vegetable !
This made King surprised. He asked with minister " That time, you had praised the dishes saying that brinjal is the best vegetable. But now you are condemning the vegetable.why is the sudden change of mentality ?"
Minster replied " I am not the servant of brinjals. I am the servant of yours. That time, you had liked the dished made of brinjals. Thats why even I praised it. But today , you were fed up of the dishes. You disliked it. Hence , even I did the same . I just talked in favour of you . Br cause , I am the servant of yours."
King rewarded the minister for saying the truth.
