Nothing happened wrong to Thomas due to the shocks. Even he didn't realize when the shocks were given to him.
He irritatingly said: "How much longer will I have to wait to get a shock? I'm so excited. So, please give them to me."
The jailor didn't believe what was happening. He surprisingly responded: "Thomas, I have given you the shock. Didn't you feel anything?"
Thomas began laughing aloud and said: "Really! I think your machine is faulty. I didn't receive anything."
The jailor was so pressured as the whole state was viewing the live coverage. So any problem in his performance could cause problems for the king, who had been embarrassed once in front of people.
So, he tried again, thinking he must be doing something wrong. That was why the machine was inactive.
Everyone who was watching the scene was worried. They began whispering with each other.
"Oh! What a system in this state! Everything is mismanaged."
"Why is the king used to calling us and doing pranks?"
