In the Kingdom of Fools Summary
This story is about the Kingdom of Fools. In this empire, both the king and the minister are fools. To secede from other states, they decide to convert night into day and day into night. They order people to work overnight and sleep at sunrise. Not following this rule will result in punishment, which, as the people are told, is a matter of great pleasure for the king and the minister. One day, a guru and his disciple arrive in the city, only to find that no one is outside; Everyone is sleeping, including animals. Descending once in the evening, they see that the townspeople are growing more about their business. The Guru and the disciple go to a grocery store and find that everything is the same: a daddoo. 'They are very happy because they can buy anything for just one rupee.
Soon, the Guru realizes that this is a kingdom of fools and he feels that it is not wise for him to be there. However, the disciple is reluctant to leave as food is available very cheaply there. The Guru warns him that as it is a kingdom of fools, they do not know what can happen next. When the disciple does not listen, the guru decides to leave. The disciple lags behind every day and eats to his heart's content daily. Eventually, he becomes fat.
One day, a thief broke into the house of a businessman by piercing the wall of the house. After stealing, he attempts to run through the same hole, but the wall falls on him and he dies. The thief's brother complained to the king; He says that the death of his brother is the fault of the businessman and should be made to compensate for the loss of the family later. The king promised justice and summoned the businessman. When the merchant agrees that the thief had entered his house and the wall fell on him, the king announces that the merchant has pleaded guilty to killing the thief. The businessman then states that the blame lies with the person who built the wall poorly. Merchant says that the brick that built the wall years ago is now that of an old man. The king then called Brick.
When the brickman admits that he has built the wall, the king declares that he should be punished. The brickworker says that he knows the wall was not built properly, but it was not his fault: at the time, she was distracted by a pretty dancing girl who wandered up and down a nearby street. She kept on swinging with him all day. He says that it is the girl who is to blame.
The king agrees to call the dancing girl. The dancing girl, now old, comes to the court trembling in fear. The king asks him if he walked down and down the road years ago, when erecting a brick wall. When she confesses that she has, the king accuses her of killing the thief. The woman recalls that day she was walking down and down the street, as she gave some gold to a lazy goldsmith, who was delaying work. Like, he had to walk up to his house several times to get his jewelry. Thus, she says, the fault lies with the goldsmith. The king now calls the goldsmith.
The goldsmith, in turn, has his own story to tell. He says that he gave a lot of excuses to the dancing girl, as she was busy working at the behest of a wealthy businessman. The businessman had married and was very impatient. In further questioning, it is revealed that the merchant who spoke of the goldsmith is the merchant whose wall fell to the thief. The merchant is summoned again. However, he claims that he is innocent because it was his late father who ordered the jewelery.
After consulting his minister, the king announced that since the actual criminal was dead, someone should be punished in his place. Just as his son has inherited wealth from his father, he has also inherited his father's sins. Thus, he would have to die. The king orders his servants to form a new stake for the execution of the merchant. While the share of the servants increases, it is up to the minister that the businessman is too thin to be executed as such. The king is also worried.
They decide on a simple solution: they have to find enough to fit a man fat. They immediately send servants to search for such a man. The servants find that the fat disciple meets the criteria. As they take him to the gallows, the disciple remembers his master's warning. He silently prays to his master, hoping that he hears her prayers wherever he is. The Guru has magical powers and is able to see past, present and future. He sees everything with a vision and comes to save his disciple's life.
The guru whispers something to the disciple and then goes to meet the king. He asks the king to explain who is the savvy between the guru and the disciple. The king replies that the guru is sensible. The Guru first asks to be put to death; His disciple should be killed at the stake after him. Hearing this, the disciple understands the trick and demands to be the first to die. The Guru and the disciples start quarreling. The king is shocked and asks the Guru why he wants to be killed. The Guru states that he will answer the question whether the king promised to kill him first. When the king agrees, the Guru tells him that he wants to die because he never went to such a state nor saw such a king. He says that whoever dies on the new stake first, will be reborn as the king of this kingdom; And the other who is killed will be bom as a minister.
The king is upset because he does not want to lose his kingdom even in the next life. He therefore postpones the execution and advises his minister. They decide to go to the stakes themselves so that they can be reborn as kings and ministers. The king tells the executioners that criminals will be sent to them at night. They should do the first person first, and then the second man.
That night, the king and the minister secretly go to jail and release Gum and the disciple. They then disguise themselves as sorrow and disciple. They are then placed at stake and executed. When corpses are taken to crows and vultures, people identify the corpse as a king and a minister. Throughout the night, people mourn and discuss the future of the state. As Gum and the disciples are about to leave the city, some people find him and beg him to be their new king and their minister. Both agree to abolish the state but on condition that they will change all the old laws.
From then on, day becomes day and night becomes night; There is nothing available for a daddu. The state becomes like any other place.
