Generous Gift

"So there was this fateful day that the blind beggar came to the palace and the king was informed that he had arrived, and like always, the king went out to meet him."

"You do good, you do it for yourself, you do bad, you do it for yourself," the King greeted as soon as he saw him.

"Oh king, live forever and may this kingdom continue to prosper in your reign," the beggar responded.

"Amen," the king answered, but just then, an idea formed in his head and he turned to his aide who had advised him earlier and whispered something to him. 

The aide disappeared into the house and appeared not long after with a package as at other times.

"Drop it in his bag," the king ordered and his aide obeyed without questioning.

"The blind beggar felt the weight of what the king has given and his face lit up in a smile. This time around, the king had really been generous, he couldn't help but think as he adjusted his bag.
