There were tears in the king’s eyes. He looked at all his courtiers with great affection, but his mind was made up. He took off his royal robes and dropped them gently on the ground. The Chief Minister picked them up tenderly and kissed them and sobbed like a child. Then the king took off his crown and held it in his hands. He raised his hands to heaven and said, “O God, I give back to thee the gift of kingship which Thou hadst bestowed upon me. I love my subjects, but I love humanity more.” Then he addressed his courtiers and said, “My friends, I go into the forest to pray for the rest of my life in order to find peace of mind. I sincerely hope that he whomyou choose as your next king will be just and merciful. One day I will return to you, not as your king, but as your servant, the servant of all human beings.” He dropped the crown, which rolled down the steps of the throne. In perfect silence he walked out of the hall.
