THE WASTEFUL RULER
A ruler living in a shining city on a hill in a beautiful kingdom had two sons and a daughter.
His two sons always worried about the amount of goods they would inherit from their father. Resembling her father the most, the young daughter just watched and learned.
So the middle son said to the eldest, “Brother, our father wenches all day, watches his money at night, and does not even feed us.”
That same day the ruler felt bored and decided to visit distant lands. So he called his sons and daughter and said, “Gather my belongings. I will go East.“
