The Story of Trust, Part 1
Once there was a king, who thought to himself, “Who is there in the world with less worries than I? For I have all the good things, and I am a king and a ruler.” He went to investigate this. He went in the night, and stood by peoples’ houses, to eavesdrop and listen to the words of the world. He listened to the worries of each one – this one had troubles with his shop, and another had a problem for which he needed to see the King, and so with the worries of each one.
After this, he went and saw one house, partially submerged underground, its windows almost touching the ground, and the roof broken and collapsed. He saw a man sitting inside, playing a harp to which one had to listen very carefully to hear. He was very happy, and had a jug of wine sitting on the table before him. There were also foods placed before him, and he was very happy, filled with joy, and without worries at all.
