The Vanishing Beggar: A Test of the King's Heart
Once upon a time, there was a king who had a lot of guards, but among them, only a few good men were his most trustworthy, brave, and loyal. He called them the "PACK." One day, a beggar appeared in the king's council and asked for the best that the kingdom had to offer. The king presented him with the finest fruits and clothes, but the beggar refused, saying, "Give me something more valuable than your kingdom." The king, thinking quickly, offered his personal guard, a special unit of highly trained troops, believing them to be more valuable than his kingdom. The beggar responded with anger, accusing the king of deception and mocking him for his inability to feed the whole unit. The king, showing generosity, explained that the men could take care of themselves and assist in farming and other tasks. However, the beggar insisted on the "PACK." Realizing it was a test of his generosity, the king called upon the PACK and entrusted them with the care of the beggar and his men. The beggar smiled and praised the king for his generosity, vanishing into thin air. The king, awestruck, suddenly woke up, realizing it had all been a dream testing his generosity towards the few good men in his kingdom.
