Once a certain king had an idea i he always knew the right time to begin everything, if he knew we
ct people to listen to and who to avoid the most important thing to do, he would never ta
in anything that he would undertake and above all, if he always knew what was the most undertake
Since he was convinced that he was right in thinking this way, he had a proclamation made in
ingdom He would cve a great reward to anyone who would teach him what the right time was for
ction who the most necessary people were, and how he might know the most important thing
Many learned people came to the court but they all gave different answers. In reply to the first question,
ome said that to know the right time for every action, one must draw up in advance a table of days,
mont years, and must live strictly according to it. Others declared that it was impossible to decide
the right time for every action, but that not letting oneself be absorbed in idle pastimes
one should always attend to all that was going on, and then do that which was most essential. Yet
others said that it was impossible for one man to decide correctly the right time for every action and
that the king should, instead, have a council of wise people, who would help him to fix the proper time
for everything
