The King's Dream

Once upon a time , a king woke up all of sudden in the middle of his sleep ; he had such a nightmare and puzzling dream. Trying to catch his breath, the king yelled to one of his guards. " Guards. Get me one of the kingdom's fortune tellers... Quickly !!!" the guard ran as fast as he could to fetch one of the fortune tellers without being brave enough to ask the king which one to call in.

Not longer after, a fortune teller arrived . The king immediately told him about his dream and asked the fortune teller to tell him what it meant. " I had such a weird dream. In that dream I lost all my teeth. Huh... what kind of premonition is this ? Can you tell me ? " After a careful almanac consulting the fortune teller sadly said to the king . " I beg for your mercy Your Highness... From My observation, I can only say that the dream represents bad things will happen. One tooth represents one death, Your Highness. All losing teeth means the whole family will perish ".
Like stricken by thunder, the king immediately got very angry. The bad news that fortune teller said made him really furious. The King once ordered a sentence of 20 times whip to be given to this fortune teller. Even so the king's Curiousity did not go away. He was Still very unsatisfied and very unhappy. And thus he instructed his guard to once again call up another fortune teller. Very Soon a new Fortune teller came by .

At this time, after listening to the story, the fortune teller with smile said, " Your Highness... From what i can see, the dream saying that indeed Your Highness is the luckiest person in the whole world. You will live longer than the rest of the other family members." Having heard this Explanation, a bright smile cracked in the king's face. He was so delighted to hear it. "You are such a great fortune teller. As a reward I will give you 5 gold coins."

After departure of that second fortune teller, the king asked his prime minister about the quality and accuracy of both fortune tellers. The prime minister who had witnessed all events with honesty and bravery said, " My Lord ... the first fortune teller spoke of the deaths of all Your Highness' kins. While the second fortune teller said that Your Highness will live longer than the rest of the noble kins. According to both explanation your humble servant can only say that both opinions are just the same. Which is all your Highness' next kins will pas away first before Your Highness." the king was listening to the explanation carefully." And therefore actually, both fortune tellers had the same quality. What differentiates is that the way they express their thoughts. The first fortune teller expressed his mind straight forward without considering the side effects. While the second one was carefully and cleverly explained his thoughts and thus Your Highness could accept his explanation better and then gave him award."
