Answer 1

Answer:

The Hermit spat on his hand as he was digging..

The king wanted to know three things- the best time to start a plan, the right person to consult and the most important thing to do for him. This was the time, when Hermit was digging. He heard the king but gave no answer. He spat on his hands and continued digging.
