The King, His Minister And His Dogs - A Short Inspirational Story by Nobody: 9:22pm On Apr 30, 2015
There was this king that had 10 wild dogs. He used them to torture and eat all ministers who made mistakes.
So one of the minister once gave an opinion which was wrong, and which the king didn't at all. So he ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs.
The minister pleaded ''Please don't do this! I served you for 10 years. Please give me 10 days before you throw me in with those dogs''
The king agreed. In those 10 days, the minister went to the guard that was guarding the dogs and told him he wants to serve the dog for the next 10 days. The guard was baffled but he agreed. So the minister started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, washing them, providing all sort of comfort for them. So when the 10 days were up. The king ordered that the minister be thrown in to the dogs for his punishment. But when he was thrown in, everyone was amazed at what they saw. They saw the dogs licking the feet of the minister.
The king baffled at what he saw shouted ''What happened to my dogs!!!''
The minister then said ''I served the dogs for 10 days and they didn't forget my service. Yet, i served you for 10 years and you forgot all at the first mistake!''
The king realized his own mistake and ordered his own minister to go free.
This is a gift to all those that forget the good in others as soon as a problem arises. Don't wipe out the history that is filled with good because of a small incident you didn't like.
