Describe detail character sketch of king was he really 'just and placid'?
Answers
No the king was not just and placid as when his crown hit the arch he at the same time itself decided to punish the workmen but one-by-one they put the whole blame on some other person and at the end the blame was put on the king himself. Now the king called the wisest man in the village. The king said that the punishment should be given to any person. So the soldiers made a loop which was a little high as they knew that there was only one person in the village who is that tall and that person was the king. And only the king fitted the loop and was hung till Death. So according to the village tradition the first person who will pass the village gate next morning will choose the next person to be the king and the person who passed the gate was an idiot whose standard answer to every question was melon so when they asked him about the next person to be the king he answered 'melon'. And then a melon was brought and was crowned as the king.
