The king announced that whoever would answer the questions, would get a reward of 5,000 gold coins.

No one could answer the questions of the king. The king went to a saint the king was sure to find the correct answers from him as the saint was very wise. The king disguised himself as a poor man and went to the saint, because he did not mix with the rich.

In the meantime a wounded and bearded man came there and collapsed. The king dressed his wounds. The man was his enemy. The treatment and behavior of the king changed his mind and he became his faithful servant. The saint then told the king the answers. The most important time to start some work is the present, the most important work is what we are doing now and the most important person is that man with whom we are at the moment.
