Firstly,the Chief of Builders was called and it was decided that he'll be hanged.But the Chief of Builders shifted the blame to the labours.All were called and were about to be hanged.According to the laborers, it all happened due to faulty size of the bricks. So, the king summoned the masons.
But the mason added that it was the fault of the architect . It was decided that the architect will be hanged . Suddenly,the architect reminded the king that he had made certain amendments to the plans when they were shown for his approval.
The situation finally blamed the King.
After all this,it was decided that the wisest man of the city will be called to take the final decision.The oldest man of the city was called upon who could barely walk.
According to the old man, the real culprit was the the arch. It was the arch that hit the crown violently and it fell off. So, the arch was to be hanged. At that time, a councilor said that it would be very shameful act to hang the arch that hit the king’s head.
As the decision was pending,the whole gathering was getting restless . Due to which ,the king commented that someone must be hanged as it was the public demand. Each men from the crowd went up to check if he/she was fit in the loop or not .
