‘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…….”

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.
