from the story "the Kingdom of Fools" we get to know that descisions should be made with a cool mind and rational thought. Hasty choices often lead to dangerous consequences. The disciple was tempted by all the cheap goods and for that, he decided to stay in that kingdom, ignoring his guru's advice. Instead of thinking rationally, he made a hasty decision to stay back. ultimately, he fell for the senseless judgment of the foolish king. For the action of the foolish king, moreover, his own hasty decision, he was on a verge of losing his life. If he would've taken a bit more time to review his desires, he could've seen the importance of his guru's words.
on the other hand, the king's foolishness was his downfall. for the greed to become a king in his next life again, he hastily made a decision and ended up losing his life along with his trusted minister.
thus this story emphasizes that a rash and hasty decision always lead to dangerous consequences.
