THREE QUESTIONS

he thought came to a certain king that he would never fail if he knew three things these three things were what is the right time to begin something which people should he listen to what is the most important things for him to do the king therefore sent messagers throughout his kingdom promising a large sum of money to anyone who would answer these three questions many wise men came to the king but they all answered his question differently in reply to the first question some said the king must prepare a timetable and then follow it strictly only in this way they said could he do everything at its proper time other said that it was impossible to decided in advance the right time for doing something.

the king should notice all that was going on avoid foolish pleasures and always do whatever seemed necessary at that time.
