THE BAD KING.

*THE BAD KING* .

The late king of one forgotten village had ten hyenas.

Which he used to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake during his rule .

One day, one of his servants gave an opinion that was wrong, and the king didn't like it at all.

So, he ordered that the servant be thrown to the wild animals.

But the servant said, "I served you for ten years, and you do this to me? Please give me ten days before throwing me to those hyenas" .

The king agreed, and in those ten days, the servant went to the guard who looks after the hyenas and told him he would like to serve the hyenas for the next ten days.

The guard was baffled but agreed, and the servant started feeding the hyenas, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them.

When the ten days were over, the king ordered that the servant be thrown to the hyenas for his punishment.

And when he was thrown in, everyone was amazed to see the ravenous hyenas only licking the feet of the servant!

The king, baffled at what he was seeing, he asked, "What has happened to my hyenas?"

The servant replied, "I served the hyenas for only ten days, and they didn't forget my service.

Yet I served you for a whole ten years and you forgot all, at my first mistake?"

The king realized his mistake and ordered the servant to be set free.

This post is a message to all those who forget the good things a person does for them as soon as the person makes a mistake towards them.

Don't be hard on people who have been good to you over the years, because of a day they may have wronged you without even realising.

Especially, if they're willing to rectify their mistake.

Because, we're only humans, and perfection is far from us.
