One day a flower seller goes to King’s palace. He wants to show and sell his beautiful flowers to the king. There is a soldier at the gate.
The soldier stops the seller. He comes to know that the seller is going to get some money. He demands half of what the seller gets by his sale of flowers. Then only he will allow the man to go into the court. The seller agrees.
The seller gets in. He shows the flowers. The king is impressed. He asks him what he wants for the flowers. The seller says that he wants fifty lashes. The king is stunned. From the seller he comes to know about the greediness of the soldier. He orders the soldier to be given twenty-five lashes. He rewards the flower-seller.
