English Story with Moral Lesson
The Wise King
Once upon a
time, in a distant kingdom, there was a strange custom: each year, the people
would appoint a new king. The king who ruled for that year had to pledge that,
after his reign, he would leave the throne and be sent to a remote island where
he would live out the rest of his days. This was an eerie tradition, for no one
ever returned from that island.
After a king’s
year was over, a grand farewell ceremony would take place. The king would be
dressed in his finest clothes, placed on an elephant, and taken on a journey
across the land to say goodbye to his people.
It was always a
sorrowful occasion, as the king would bid his subjects farewell for the last
time, knowing he would never return. Then, the people would leave him on the
desolate island and return to their lives.
One year, as
the people were leaving the old king on the island, they spotted a shipwreck in
the distance. Among the wreckage was a young man clinging to a piece of wood,
barely surviving.
Since the
people were also in need of a new king, they rescued him and brought him to their
land. They asked him to rule for a year, explaining the unusual custom. At
first, the young man didn’t believe them, but after hearing their story, he
agreed to take on the responsibility.
On the third
day of his reign, the new king called his minister and asked, “Show me the
place where all the previous kings were sent after their reigns ended.” The
minister, respectful of the king’s wishes, arranged for a visit to the island.
Upon reaching
the island, the king saw that it was a wild, untamed place, full of dangerous
animals. The sounds of these animals echoed from the dense forest.
Curious, the
king ventured further into the woods, where he was shocked to find the skeletal
remains of previous kings scattered around the island. The realization hit him hard—if
he didn’t act fast, he too would meet a gruesome end, torn apart by wild
animals.
Determined to
avoid such a fate, the king returned to the mainland and gathered a hundred
strong workers. He ordered them to clear the island of its dangers.
For the next
few months, the workers killed the wild animals and cut down the excess trees.
By the second month, the island was almost unrecognizable, free from its
previous dangers.
But the king
didn’t stop there. He wanted to transform the island into a place of peace and
beauty. He instructed the workers to plant gardens, and he brought animals like
chickens, cows, ducks, and sheep to the island.
He also had
them build a magnificent house and a harbor, so the island could one day
thrive. As the months passed, the island slowly turned into a stunning, serene
city.
Despite the
progress, the king wore simple clothes and lived humbly. He spent most of the
kingdom’s resources on improving the island. As his reign neared its end, he
told his minister, “I know I must wait two more months before my time as king
ends, but I am ready to go now.”
The ministers
tried to convince him to wait, as tradition dictated that the king must stay
for the full year, and only then would he be sent to the island.
Finally, after
two months, the year ended. The people prepared for the king’s farewell. He was
dressed in royal garments and placed on an elephant, just as the tradition
demanded. However, to everyone’s surprise, the king seemed joyful rather than
sad.
The people were
puzzled. “Why are you smiling?” they asked. “All the previous kings were
heartbroken, but you seem so happy.”
The young king
answered with wisdom: “You see, when a child is born, it cries and the world
rejoices. Live your life in such a way that when you die, you are smiling and
the world cries.
I have lived
that life. While all the kings before me were lost in the luxuries of the
palace, I was planning for my future. I turned this island, which was once a
place of despair, into a beautiful home where I will live out my days in
peace.”
The people were
astonished by his wisdom. In the end, the king’s foresight and hard work had
not only saved his life but also turned an island of doom into a paradise. His
story became a lesson in the importance of planning for the future, no matter
what challenges life may present.
