Once there was a king who never ate a meal unless there was a dish of fish with it, but one day there was a big storm and the fishermen were not able to go out to catch fish, so the king had no breakfast and no lunch. Then he ordered his servants to tell everybody in his capital that if anyone brought him a fish, he would give him anything that he asked for.

At last, a fisherman caught a big fish late in the afternoon and hurried to the king’s palace with it. But the kin’s Prime Minister would not let him in until he promised to give him half of whatever the king gave him for the fish.

The king was very happy when he saw the fish. He asked the fisherman what he wanted for his fish. To his surprise, the fisherman said, “I want you to beat me two dozen times with a stick.” When the king began to beat him a dozen times, the fisherman jumped away and said, “That is enough for me. I promised the other dozen to your Prime Minister.” Then he told the king what has happened between the Prime Minister and himself. The king was very angry. He not only gave the Prime Minister the dozen hits. but also said, “Because you have been dishonest, you will not be my Prime Minister any more. The fisherman will take your place.”
