2 II

The king nodded at the panther and said, "Speak!"

"Here is my riddle you fool Mortal. Is this glass half full or half empty?"

The panther purred, "Before thou answer, remember that mistake won't be accepted. You will only get once chance, speak."

It did not even took more than a second. The panther did not expect what the King had concluded.

Disbelief is written all over the panther's face.

The king drew up his sword quickly and a big swoosh was heard.

The panther dropped the glass and started shedding bitter tears on it's eyes. He woes, "My arms! My arms! What's the reason for such vicious act!?"

The king walked past the crying animal and says, "That is my answer Panther, to your riddle. Now I can say that the glass is neither half empty or half full indeed."

The king and his leagues started their path towards the deepest part of the forest.
