The king kept his words so well that soon he was known throughout the land as The Just King. By and by of his favorites came to him said, “Your Majesty I beg you to tell me how it was that you had this change of heart towards our people.”
And the King replied “As I was galloping through my forest one afternoon, I Caught sight of a hound chasing o fox. The fox escaped into his hole, but not until he had been bitten by the dog so badly that he would be lame for life. The hound, returning home, met a man who threw a stone at him, which broke his leg. And the horse, starting to run, fell into a hole and broke his leg, Here I came to my senses, and resolved to change my rule. ‘for surly,’ I said to my self; he who does evil will sooner or later be overtaken by evil.”
