Once there lived a great king where in his kingdom people used to live happily because of his nature. One day he went to the forest for hunting. While hunting, he spotted a ghoul. He approached the ghoul fearlessly and ordered ghoul to leave the kingdom.
The ghoul told to the king that he has been cursed by a hermit who lives in the next kingdom. He also pleaded king not to send him from the kingdom. But the king gave two options either to leave the kingdom or to die in his hands. The ghoul reminded the king of his modest and righteous nature and pleaded him to understand his situation.
The king at last concluded by saying to live in crematoriums and in the forest which are the outskirts of the kingdom. But the ghoul asked him for more places and promised king that he won’t interact with the people. The king allowed him to stay wherever there is sorrow, unemployment, greed and poverty as he thought that his kingdom was perfect and ghoul can stay only in outskirts. The ghoul bowed down before the king and vanished.
From the next day, there was a great hoax in the kingdom. People were killing each other due to property issues, youth came into streets to strike against the king and his policies due to which they did not get any employment.
When the king asked the ministers about the issues in the kingdom, none of the ministers told the fact. When the king was on the bed and started thinking about the ghoul realised that the kingdom was not in the normal stage.
So he took his chariot and went to the next kingdom and went to one of the famous hermits and told that one of the hermits sent a ghoul to his kingdom. The hermit laughed and said, he is the one who sent that ghoul so that you will know what is really happening in the kingdom.
The king realised the fact and promised the hermit that here onwards he will take care of the kingdom well. The king went back to the kingdom with new perspective and outlook. Thus, the king grew from being an ignorant to an enlightened leader.
