"The Jester's Wisdom"


Once in the kingdom of Merriland, King Ferdinand had a peculiar fondness for wit. There was a wise jester  in the court. The king who ruled the kingdom respected the jester a lot. The jester was not only good at cracking jokes but was clever enough to help the king in some official matters. His court jester, Jovial Jake, cracked jokes that tickled even the sternest hearts. Many a times the jester would make the king the butt of his joke. One day he joked about the king as usual but the king felt insulted by it and grew very angry. Enraged, King Ferdinand, in a fit of temper, sentenced the jester to death. To everyone's surprise, the king offered Jake a choice of how he wanted to meet his end. Wise beyond measure, the jester chose to die of old age. The king, amused by the jester's clever choice, realized the folly of his anger and granted him a full pardon. The kingdom learned that sometimes, wisdom can be found in unexpected places.


Moral: "Humor and wisdom can disarm even the mightiest of tempers."
