Long long ago, there was a king, He was very kind and took great care of his subjects. The people in his kingdom were leading a happy and comfortable life. The kings of other kingdoms also respected him. But the king was always worried. The cause of his worry was his important son. One day he went to a sage and said to him, "O pious soul, I have only one son. But he has been spoilt due to excessive affection from my part. He neither respects anyone nor helps me in courtly affairs."
The sage listened to the king patiently and said,
"You send the prince to meet me tomorrow."
The next day, the prince reached the sage's cottage.There was a big garden in front of the cottage. The sage took the prince for a stroll in the garden. The sage, indicating to a small neem tree, said, "Son, do の
ou see that small tree there? Pluck some of the
aves of the tree and chew them."
