Once there was a king who believed that nothing would go wrong with him if he gets an answer to his questions that who were the people that he should be with, for every action what is the right time and in life what is the most important thing to do. He sets reward for the person who would answer his three questions satisfactorily. Many men answered differently to each question. Hence, the king was not satisfied. Therefore upon this, the king decides to ask these questions from the hermit. While he reaches to hermit he saw that he was digging the ground. He helped hermit and asked him to rest. However, while digging the king kept on asking the three questions but the hermit chose to be quiet.
Suddenly the hermit asks the king to watch the bearded man came running. The bearded man was wounded and was dying. The king and hermit helped the bearded man. Next morning when the bearded man woke up he told truth to the king and apologized him for planning to kill him. The king forgave the bearded man and again asks the three questions to the hermit. The hermit answers:
1. Every action should be done now as now has the power.
2. The right person is the person with whom you are at the moment
3. An important action in life is to do good with a person with whom you are.
