There was once a king who was very powerful and rich. But he was unhappy, because he felt ill all the time. No doctors knew how to cure him, nor did any medicine do him good. One day, he called all his wise men to his palace and asked them what to do. “There is only one way.” Said a very old man.” If you can find a happy man, take his shirt and wear it, you will be soon cured.”
So the king sent his men to search for all the happy men. They traveled all over the country, but they could not find one. There was no body who was completely satisfied. The men were very tired of their long search, and did not know when to go home. Just as they were worrying about that, they saw a worker who was singing merrily while he was at work.
“Are you happy?” they asked the man.
“Yes, I am happy as a lark.” Answered the man.
“Give us your shirt,” said the men. “We’ll give you as much money as you need.”
I’ll give this shirt, when I first reunited with the king. Okay I'll take you to the kingdom to meet the king.
While in the kingdom, he began planning to create ill will to the king. He pretended that the king wanted to help but the main intention of his master the king's treasure. Because the king had no idea how to cure the strange disease had. King also believed that man to treat it.
The man gave the desired T-shirt by the king. But the man was asking a much exaggerated terms, he would ask for compensation and a half the wealth owned by the king. The king was surprised to hear that statement, but with a very forced the king also agreed a request from the men.
Finally, the king did not go away by having the T-shirt from the man, but the pain got worse and empire collapsed due to his wealth has gone to the cost of such treatment.
