A king and a astrologer
Once
there was a king. The king was very fond of knowing his future from the
astrologer. A good astrologer visited the capital of the king. The called him
to the palace. The astrologer told something very unpleasant. At this the king
got furious and condemned him to death. But another thought crossed his mind
before the astrologer was removed for excecution. The king then asked, “How
long would you live?” He then thought for while for some way of escape. He
thought that the king would prove him in a liar putting him to death. With
ready wit he said, “The stars declare that I’ll die only a week before your
death! I shall wait to receive your majesty where you have been sending me. At
this the king turned pale. ‘Drive this wretch away and let him not come
again’shouted the king.
