The Wisest
Man
Many
years ago a king wanted to find the wisest man in his kingdom. He wanted the
man to be his prime minister. “how can I
find the wisest man ?” he aksed his wife dan his friend. “ask everyone in
kingdom to make a wish and after that choose the man who the wisest wish.” the
queen said. “yes” king agree. “that’s a good idea.”
The
king wrote a letter to all newspaper. He requested everyone in kingdom to make
one wish. “you must write your wish on postcard and send it to palace.” The
king wrote in his letter. A few days later the postcards arrived at the palace.
There were many thousand of them.
“oh
dear.” He said a few hours later to his wife. “the kindom full of idiots. Many
say, I wish to be rich. Others say, I wish to be handsome.” He pointed a pile
of postcard. “they all say, I wish to marry the most beautiful girl in the
world.” He sighed sadly “there isn’t one man with any wisdom.”
More postcards arrived
the next day and the day later. For many weeks the king spent all day and half
in the night reading the postcards. They all said the same thing. Then, at
last. The king found a postcard that was
different.
“wife,
I have found him! I have found the wisest man!”. “Tell me what he wishes for?”
his wife asked. The king read the postcard to his wife. It said, “I wish I know
what to wish.”
