It's been a long time ago.
As soon as a king became old, he realized that the time has come for the election of a new king. Instead of choosing any of his children as a new king, he thought about something else and called all the youth together in that state.
After gathering all together, the king said, "I am old and have time to surrender all the responsibilities." I want to give you all the responsibilities of the state in one hand.
There was a fear and tension among the youth.
The king continued to say - I will give you all seeds in one, I want you to plant it and take care, and after just one year you will bring the tree back.
Pritam, a young man, was present on that day and as usual he also got a seed.
Returning home, he showed the seeds to his mother and said all open. Her mother began to help her plant and plant her seed.
After a few weeks, all other young people started saying that their seeds were getting out of seedlings. But Pritam did not see anything out of his seed.
Yet he did not give up hope and started regularly checking the care of the tree and checking every day if any seedlings are coming out!
After six months, everyone started discussing their trees, but Pritam has not found anything yet. He began to feel defeated and uncomfortable.
A year passed to see, the time came to meet the king. Pritam told her mother that he could not go to the king because he could not show anything. His mother said to him - but you will go before the king and accept the truth.
Eventually, everyone appeared before the king in the royal court. Many started to laugh at Pritam. Pritam took the tub of his seed waiting in one corner of the royal court.
The king came and said: You planted and sowed seeds very hard. Today one of you will be selected as the next king.
Suddenly, the king's eyes fell on Pritam, he saw the boy standing in the hand with empty tub. The king said to come before him
Pritam became frightened and stood in front of the king, King said, "A year ago, I gave you one seed and told you to plant the seed and take care after one year to come to me, I will choose someone from among you as the next king.
I will keep my words, your next king is Pritam ...
Everyone was surprised to hear this, Pritam was also surprised because he did not plant saplings from his seed.
The king used to say - I gave you all the perfect seed which is impossible to get out of seedlings. And you planted another seed to make me happy with greed and gave me a tree today. Only Pritam showed his honesty. And so he was elected the next king.
Moral of the story :
Truthfulness establishes justice, and righteousness leads to heaven. And leads a false person towards wickedness, sinfulness leads to hell
