In a village there was a king. He had a beautiful palace. He was a richer than most other kings. He had two sons. He was too desirous of fame. He had not much knowledge. He was a fool. He spent all the money inherited from his ancestors for the sake of his reputation. Many poets wrote songs in his praise and received gifts from him. The king did not even understand the songs. He simply gave gifts to the poets who sang a song. He gifted them gold equal to weight pf their papers. So many cheated him.  consequently, the King lost all his money. 

One good poet watched all the events happening in the dynasty. He  wished to teach a lesson to the king. He wrote a famous song in four lines. He  went to the king. he king was very much impressed by his song. He decided to give gold of the papers weight. The king said to the poet to bring the papers. Poet said-  "I am unable to bring the papers. I need one thousand men to bring it."  It was a big surprise to the king. Small song. How to require such persons. 

The king did not ask the poet. Instead he  went outside to see the papers. But the song was a big rock sculptor. This was a major shock to the king. The King realized  that he did not have that much gold. The Poet said- "I came to teach you a lesson." 

The poet requested the king  not to  spend any more money for his fame. The King said ". I have realized my mistake. I will not repeat this anymore. Thank you for all of your advice." The king gave good governance thereafter. The crazy desire for fame vanished. everybody in his dynasty was happy to see the change in the King. all is well that ends well.
