    It was the season of midsummer when a king sitting on his golden chair with his servant on his side

    heard a loud
    and annoying voice of a beggar shouting and crying for bread outside his palace. As he despise the sound of the
    beggar’s cries, he orders his servant to drive him away off of his palace’s distance. To his desire of shutting up the
    beggar, he tried all ways he could think of, which includes using whiplash and spears to smote him, binding and gagging
    him, cutting his tongue, and the worst, a punishment of death. However, the beggar’s wound from the whiplash and
    spears immediately heals, he grows another tongue, and he becomes alive again in spite of being killed. Since there is
    no point of driving him away, the king’s servant suggests that he shall give what the beggar want for he will keep
    coming back in the palace if he’ll not get what he needs. Notwithstanding the servant’s recommendation, the king
    being the hard-headed that he is, immediately refuse and took down the suggestion for he believes that granting the
    beggar’s wish will just make other people have the gut to just ask for their basic necessities instead of working hard for
    it.
    Moving on, the king decided to let the beggar enter his palace so he can command him to stop begging for a piece
    of bread but the beggar choose not to acknowledge his orders. For the second try, the king orders the beggar to let his
    forehead touch the floor thrice to seal a promise between them even though there ain’t any. As a response, the beggar
    says he will not do as the king commands unless he will also do what he wants. He challenges the king to throw his
    crown away outside the window and as a return he will also let his forehead touch the floor, but the king discards the
    the beggar’s proposal immediately for he believes that a beggar has no ability to command a king like him. This event
    reveals that the he is with so much pride and is so full of himself for the reason that he is the powerful and illustrious
    king. As he loses his temper, he commands the servant to seize the beggar again but before they can do so, the beggar
    tells the king that there is no point of it because he will just survive every punishment they will throw. In addition to
    that, he threatens the king with his wisdom with the purpose of humbling him which almost makes the king truly throw
    his crown. Now, the beggar is back outside shouting and crying for bread again.
