THE TYRANT WHO BECAME A JUST RULER
There was once a king who was so cruel to his people that he was
called "The Tyrant."
The people used to wish that he would die so that they might have
a better king.
One day he called his people together. They feared to go to him,
yet they did not dare to stay away. When they were all standing
before him, he arose and said:
"My dear people, I have been very unkind to you, but I hope after
this to make your lives peaceful and happy."
The king kept his word. He sent good men to all parts of his
kingdom to find out what the people most needed to make them
happy. He then had everything done for them that a just king could
do. He helped them to build good roads and bridges. He made their
taxes lighter. He gave them a holiday now and then. The people
learned to trust him and to love him.
One day one of his subjects said to him, "Please, O king, tell me
why you are so much better to us now than you used to be."
The king replied:
"As I was going through a forest one afternoon I saw a hound
chasing a fox. He caught the fox and bit him badly. The fox will
always be lame.
"When the hound was going home, a man threw a stone at him and
broke his leg.
"The man had not gone far when his horse threw him and his leg was
broken.
"The horse started to run, but he stepped into a hole and broke
his leg.
"I sat down by the road and thought about what I had seen. I said
to myself, 'He who does wrong to any living thing will suffer for
it sooner or later,' and that is why I am a better king and a
happier man."
