54. The Royal Command
Once there lived a king who had a very faithful servant. He was so loyal that he had even risked his life to save the life of the king on a couple of occasions.
On one such occasion, the king was very pleased with the servant and told him to ask for anything he wanted. The servant humbly replied, 'I don't need anything, O King. You have given me everything I need.' But the king insisted. Finally, the servant said, 'If you really want to give me something, please make me king for one day.'
The king was a bit uncomfortable with this, but he had already promised and had to keep it up. The next morning the servant became king for a day. The moment he wore the crown, the servant simply pointed to the king and ordered the royal guards, 'Kill him!' The king was shocked! He shouted at the servant, 'What nonsense are you talking?!' The servant calmly replied, 'I am the king today. I can do whatever I wish to.' So the king was killed and the servant remained king forever.
