The King’s Disease

Many years ago there was a king who was very bad tempered. Everyone was afraid of him. The king was bad tempered because he was often ill. He was often ill because he ate and drank too much.

“I am always ill”, the king told his doctor. “Why can’t you cure me?” the doctor did not want to tell the king the reason. He knew this would make the king very angry. “I give you the best medicine, your majesty” he said “I do my best.”

“your medicine make me worse’, the king said. “You must cure me before the end of the month or I shall put you in prison. You are trying to poison me.”

‘Perhaps your food is making you ill”, the doctor said. This was a polite way of saying, “You eat too much.”

“Nonsense”, the king shouted. “My cook is the best cook in the world. No, I am ill because you are a fool. You do not know how to cure me. I pay you to make me well, but what happens? I have stomachache and headache everyday. Now go and study your books. Fine a cure for my disease or…….”

“Yes, yes, yes Majesty.” The doctor said and went to his room. He made a lot of new medicine but it did no cure the king.

At last, a few days before the end of the months, the doctor went into the forest. He wanted to see a wise old monk and ask for his advice.
