Popis
In a distant land, there lived a king who had everything. He was so wealthy that his accumulated gold and silver filled an entire floor of his grand castle. He enjoyed unparalleled success - his kingdom expanded in times of war and even thrived in times of peace.
He possessed power and influence beyond measure, able to listen to and pardon anyone. But he could also be wrathful, and then, his disapprovers would end up dead. His subjects, some out of reverence and others out of fear, called him the King of Kings, the Greatest of the Great, unlike any other man who walked on Earth.
One day, as he wandered through his seemingly endless chambers filled with beautiful paintings, colorful vases, ancient weapons, and various treasures, he suddenly spotted an unfamiliar old woman.
He looked at her with disdain.
"What do you want, disrespectful servant?
And what are you doing in rooms
where only I may enter?
Leave!"
But the woman didn't take a step and silently gazed at one of the painted vases. The king raised his voice,
"Woman! Leave, or you will lose your head!"
The woman raised her gaze to the king and began speaking innocently,
"I am lost. I do not know where I am.
And I do not even know who YOU are."
"You do not know me?
How is it possible that you do not know me?"
The king puffed out his chest and spoke proudly,
"I am the greatest in the world.
I am the king of the world.
There is no one greater on this Earth."
The old woman looked into the monarch's eyes,
"Those are bold words.
But can you prove them,
or are they empty words in the wind?"
“You Insult me. Do you want to die by executioner's axe?”
