“We will make friends with the enemy we defeated?” asked Jewel Plume, who found this was unbelievable. “If you remember, Sir, I did not advise you to start this war,” said Doordarshi. “What makes you think that Silver Plume is a good king?” asked Jewel Plume wishing to learn something from his wise minister. “There are some qualities, Sir, that are required in a good ruler. And King Silver Plume has all of them,” said Doordarshi. “What are those qualities, my wise friend?” asked the King, curious to know more. “He is honest, so he will not betray a friend. He is noble, so he will not be petty or mean,” explained the wise vulture, “He is pious, so people are ready to support him. He has many friends and has always won battles. Therefore, Sir, it will be wise to have him for a friend.”
