(1)

In reply to the first question, some said that the king must follow a timetable, and then follow it strictly. Only in this way, they said, could he do everything at its proper time. Others said that it was impossible to decide in advance the right time for doing something. The king should notice all that was going on, avoid foolish pleasures, and always do whatever seemed necessary at that time. Yet others said the king needed a council of wise men who would help him act at the proper time. This was because one man would find it impossible to decide correctly, without help from others, the right time for every action.

(2)

The thought came to a certain king that he would never fail if he knew three things. These three things were What is the right time to begin something? Which people should he listen to? What is the most important thing for him to do? The king, therefore, sent messages throughout his kingdom promising a large sum of money to anyone who would answer these questions. Many wise men came to the king, but they all answered his questions differently.

(3)

The king turned round and saw a bearded man running towards them. His hands were pressed against his stomach, from which blood was flowing. When he reached the king he fainted and fell to the ground. The king and the hermit removed the man’s clothing and found a large wound in his stomach. The king washed and covered it with his handkerchief, but the blood would not stop flowing. The king re-dressed the wound until at last the bleeding stopped.

(4)

As the answers to his questions were so different, the king was not satisfied and gave no reward. Instead, he decided to ask a hermit who was widely famous for his wisdom, for advice. The hermit lived in a wood which he never left. He met no one but simple people, and so the king put on ordinary clothes. Before he reached the hermit’s hut the king left his horse with his bodyguard and went on alone.

(5)

“Remember then, there is only one time that is important and that time is ‘Now’. It is the most important time because it is the only time we have any power to act.” “The most necessary person is the person you are with at a particular moment, for no one knows what will happen in the future and whether we will meet anyone else. The most important business is to do that person good because we were sent into this world for that purpose alone.”

(6)

The king was very happy to have made peace with his enemy so easily and to win him over as a friend. He not only forgave him but said he would send his servants and his own doctor to look after him and he promised to give him back the man his property.

(7)

Leaving the wounded man, the king went out of the hut and looked around for the hermit. Before going away he wished once more to get answers to his questions. The hermit was on his knees sowing seeds in the beds that had been dug the day before. The king went up to the hermit and said, “For the last time I beg you to answer my questions, wise man.”
