20SBI Preliminary Model Paper - 6
The King was soon joined by his troops and the children were still immersed in their game.
The King commanded, “Cane them hard.” The children’s parents came running from the nearby
village and said, “They are naïve, it was just a game, please grant them pardon.” The King called his
commander and ordered, “Teach these children and the village a lesson so that they never forget the
king of Kanchi.” He went back to his camp.
That evening the commander stood before the King. He bowed low in shame and said, “Your
Majesty, with the exception of hyenas and vultures, all lie silent in the village.” The Minister said,
“His Majesty’s honour has been saved.” The priest said, “The goddess has blessed our King.” The
jester said, “Your highness, please grant me leave to go now.” The King asked, “But why?” The jester
said, “I cannot kill, I cannot maim, I can only laugh at God’s gift of life.” Trembling in the face of the
King’s anger he bravely continued, “If I stay in your Majesty’s court, I shall become like you and I
shall forget how to laugh.”
