Question

portant occupation.
Once a certain king had an idea. If he always knew the right time to begin everything, if he knew
who were the right people to listen to and who to avoid the most important thing to do, he would
never fail 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 his kingdom. He would give a great reward to anyone who would teach him what the right
time was for every action, who the most necessary people were, and how he might know the most
important thing to do.
Many learned people came to the court but they all gave different answers. In reply to the first
question, some said that to know the right time for every action, one must draw up in advance a
table of days, months and years, and must live strictly according to it. Others declared that it was
impossible to decide beforehand 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 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.
Equally varied were the answers to the second question. Some said the people the king most
needed were his councillors; others the priests; others the doctors while some said the warriors
were the most necessary.
To the third question about what was the most important occupation, some replied that the most
important thing in the world was science. Others said it was skill in warfare; and others, again, that
it was religious worship. The king was convinced by none of these answers and gave the reward to
none.
