Answer:
please share the passage first
Answer:
1. The King was ill and unhappy from past one year. No doctor or remedy was able to cure of find the problem of the King. Everyone in court was very much worried for the King’s health.
2. The messengers were unable to find a happy man everywhere. The rich were worried that pirates might sink their ship or robbers will loot their treasures. The poor were worried as they do not find enough work, or work that pays enough and have no shirt, or roof over their head. Those who have no children, feel lonely and those who have children are unhappy because the children quarrel so much among themselves.
3.The messengers were told by an old man to search for a happy, content man’s shirt so that the King can wear the shirt and be happy. No one was able to find a happy man, as in this world we are all fussing about the happiness. Rather, one should do one’s work and that would make one happy.
