Answer 1

i) The king responded by saying "Fit! Thou commandest me! Thou, a beggar from the streets, commandest me, a king, to remove my crown from my forehead and throw it from yonder window into the street!".

ii) I will not do these things now. But one day I will do them. Therefore, when my voice sounds again in thine ears, begging for bread, remember what I have told thee. Remember, O king, and be afraid!"

v) His own arrogance and pride prevents him from throwing the crown away.
