Once upon a time there was a king who was very fond of knowing his future from the astrologer.A famous astrologer happened to stop at his capital on his way to Beneras. The king called on him to know his future and the astrologer said something unpleasant. At this the king got furious. He sentenced the astrologer to death saying, "A man like you should not live to spoil the peace of the world."But another thought crossed his mind before the astrologer was removed for execution. Then the king asked, "How long would you live?" With ready wit he replied to the king that he would die only a week before the king's death. At this the king turned pale and shouted ." Drive this wretch away, let him not come again." The astrologer was saved and bade the king good bye. He went away saying that he would wait to receive him (king) where the king had been sending him(astrologer).
