Answer 1

Answer:

If a person is a king, , he is to be pitied because he oes not realise that he is not a king in real sense .but he is being addressed so by the flatterers for their selfish motives as he has surplus money to

spend on them. The moment he loses money ,they will also leave his company and disappear.
