151st Story
First published; July.16.2020
The king of a fair kingdom tried hard to inform people of the importance of learning how to read and write.
The king gave speeches many times about; how to educate your children and teach them manners to respect their family and society. This way, we would be able to grow a peaceful kingdom.
But the people never listened, truly. They just participated in the king’s speech with respect but never sent their children to learn.
The king asked a wise man to help him make people listen.
The wise man had a great idea.
The people knew the wise man very well and respected his ideas.
The wise man asked the king to announce to the public that the wise man would have a speech tomorrow, and each person had to pay one coin to participate and listen to his address.
The next day hundreds of people stood in line to get into the place where the wise man was about to speak, even the ones who couldn’t afford to pay that one coin.
The wise man welcomed everyone and repeated what the king advised for years. People listened carefully and agreed with every single word.
At the end of the speech, the wise man said: “On the way out, you will get your coins back.”
People got happy and asked for the reason, and the wise man said: “For years your fair king was trying to teach you what was best for you and your children, but you didn’t listen. Today you listen well because you paid for it.”
Unfortunately, nowadays they bribe those wise men to tell people whatever is best for the governments, politicians, and the rich.
Very well said and the truth too.
Thank you dear, haw a great day.

Absolutely wonderful story and great moral!!! 😍 I love it!!! 🥰❤️
Thank you so much for sharing!
I send you a very big hug full of affection!!! 🤗💕
You are very kind my dear friend. Have a lovely day.<3<3<3
A good story, as always. And yes, I saw the line that said it was a test.
HaHaHa, the test is still there?! it was wordpress checking the issue I had. Thanks dear.
It sure is. I guess that must be something to do with my getting an email yesterday for a post that wasn’t there!
LOL, you went through to much for my site’s problem, sorry about that.
No problem. I could read it in the email but the link to your page didn’t work. Good to see it’s sorted now.
Thank you.<3
Absolutely very fair true story
As it is told, people stand in que to pay and listen to some who are popular and great orators. But if their own people say these suggestions they are more ignorant.🙄
That’s so unfortunate. Like now that many of us just follow media and celebrities, we don’t research.<3
Worse. Many of us cannot differentiate between fake and real, thanks to those “wise words” 🙂
Thanks Len for reading dear. Appreciate your comment.
It’s rare to find a good king in history who wants his people to have a better life. Thank you for sharing.
Love you<3
So true, my friend! Money talks.
Lol, money is ruining the world.🌺
Always love your stories.
Very true,we often take wonderful things which are free for granted,at least that’s my take on it.
Thanks dear it means a lot. Appreciate your kindness.🌺
A very wise man indeed. We could use some of that wisdom today!
Unfortunately they sold their souls to the devil.😂 thanks Peter.🌺
For some reason, as your story developed, I knew right away that the people would get back their coins they had paid. There maybe many interpretations like money rules etc. , but at least it got them to listen to the words of truth. Am I interpreting this wrongly , since I saw your comment, that they sold their to the devil? Ugh maybe I missed some point here. Anyways , thank you Laleh for this story.
Yeah “they sold their souls to the devil.” Unfortunatly these days it’s all about money, fame and power. Thank you Cornelia.
A great message behind your story Laleh.💚💚
Thank you Crissy, means a lot. Much love
Love back 💕

Too true. <3
I thank you very much Anna.❤️🌺😍

Thanks sweetheart.❤️
Purtroppo i soldi muovono il mondo…e le anime.
Yes that’s so unfortunate. The world was more in peace when money wasn’t invented. Thanks dear.
Ne sono sempre più convinta <3
and sadly we always appreciate what we pay for … hence they charge so much for all this new age stuff, and the people believe!
Yes, that’s very sad. Even simple life lessons we have to pay to participate. Thanks Kate.

Welcome Laleh
When I opened my studio I gave everyone free classes and lost money because they wouldn’t show up. As soon as I started charging for them, they valued them and came. The king was a wise man like you are a wise story writer Laleh!
❤️
😂much love Cindy 😘😘😘

When exchange of money is involved to solicit my interest, I always question others motives.
True. Thanks so much for reading.🙏
great story, it’s a wise person who fears God, amen
Thanks dear friend.🌺
Thanks, with the revelations in the meaning of the hidden words in the Islamic code, through the words of Jesus Christ, it ought to be a time for deep reflection, on the oneness of all God’s people, amen
