A sage was passing through the capital of a famous kingdom. While he was walking, he noticed a coin on the road and picked it up. Because he was satisfied with his simple living, he thought he had no use for that coin. He planned to donate it to the one who was in need of it. He strolled around the streets throughout the day but didn't find such a person.
The next morning, the king was going for his invasion of another state with his army. When he saw the sage standing on the road, he came to the sage and said, "Oh, great sage, I am going to fight with another state. Wish me victory."
After thinking, the sage gave the coin to the king. The king was confused and annoyed about this. He thought he was already one of the richest kings! He curiously asked the sage, "What's the meaning of this coin?"
The sage explained, "Oh, great king! I found this coin yesterday while strolling around the streets of your capital. But I had no use for it, so I decided that I would donate it to the needy. I strolled around till the evening in your capital, but found no one needed it. Everyone is living a happy life. It seems that they are satisfied with what they have. So I found no one to give this coin to. But today, the king of this state still has the desire to gain more and isn't satisfied with what he already has. So I feel you are in need of this coin."
The king realized his mistake and gave up the planned war.
1. What was the king going to do?
2. How did the king feel when the sage gave the coin to him?
3. What do you think of the sage? Why?
