An old man was once ploughing his fields, when the
king of the country, who was an idler, happened to ride that way. Attracted by the bent figure
of the old man, he drew up the reins of his house and called out to him. The old man quickly
ran to the king and prostrating himself before him, begged to know what his sovereign Lord
demanded of him. Curious to know his age, the king asked him if he had known his father
the late king. "Yes," said he, "I knew him and his father, my Lords grandfather and. "Then
you are over seventy-five years of age," interrupted the King, "May be quickly replied the
old man, but my lord will permit me to say that I am but seven years now." Ah! Ah! What
is it you say? "Seven years, only seven years!" cried the King in surprise. "So it is, my Lord,"
replied the old man. "Counting only the number of years I have lived for the good of others.
Of what benefit is it to others to live a life of slothfulness and ease?" The King was deeply
touched by the wise words of the old man and thanking him, rode off. From that day onwards
the King was a different man altogether.
a) What was the old man doing in his field?
b) What kind of a king was he?​
