The Loyal Gardener

The-Loyal-Gardener

One day, Krishnadeva stumbled on a  rock in his garden while taking a stroll.

He was not in a good mood already, and then he had this fall. He got very angry and ordered for the gardener’s arrest and execution. The next day, at the time of execution, the gardener was asked what his last wish was. He requested for an audience with the king. His wish was granted and he was brought in the Court.

When he came near the throne, he loudly cleared the throat and spat at the feet of the king. The king demanded to know why he did such a thing. The gardener did this on Tenali’s advice, so Tenali stepped forward in the gardener’s defence. He said, “There could be no person more loyal than this unfortunate gardener. Fearing the capital punishment for a small reason, he went out of his way to give you a genuine reason for ordering him to be hanged.” The king realized his mistake and set him free.
