salt to the boy with shivering hands, without taking any payment. The boy rushed back to the coun

Q1. What did the King decide to do in his Royal Court?

Answer 1

Answer:

There once was a king who was deeply worried by the behaviour of his ministers and courtiers. Whenever there was a feast at the palace, he noticed that none of the nobles and aristocrats gathered together on the occasion, ever paused to offer a prayer to the Lord before eating their meals. They just gulped down their food laughing and chatting away, without any thought of thanking The Lord.
