Last wish of Alexander, the great

                                       Last wish of Alexander, the great

Everyone know the name of Alexander, the great. He was a great warrior. He had invaded India too. Alexander had the fame as invincible.
But he fell ill in young age and was counting his last days. That time, Alexander expressed his final wish. i. e. his dead body must be taken to cemetery in a procession.
3 people must lead the procession.
They are ---
1. His doctor
2. His astrologer
3. His army commander
Everyone were puzzled to know about this. Alexander explained the reason ---
The first person is his doctor.  Doctor while doing routine check up, always used to say that Alexander healthy. He used to say Alexander will live for 100 years.
Next is his astrologer. Astrologer always used to say Alexander's future is very bright and he is destined to live long .
Last one is his commander in chief. Commander used to assure Alexander everytime that no one can touch him in the presence of commander.
Now , death has come near . The above said people used to give him false assurances. Final truth is that everyone has to die one day. This is the fact. Alexander wants to tell to his people how he was falsely assured by these people.
