This time it was his turn. He stood in the middle of the court, fearful and apprehensive. Seeing the poor man, the wise men present in the assembly began to criticize him. Because the clothes he was wearing were dirty and torn.
When the king asks what he has brought, the poor man takes out a plant from his cloth bag and hands it to the king. The members of the court laughed at the tree in his hand.
: Maharaj... I am a poor man. I am giving you this plant as a gift according to my ability. So that your name will remain with this nature forever. --- the poor man said in fear.
The king rises from his throne and comes down to the poor man. He picks up the sapling from the man and thanks the poor man for giving him a precious gift on the king's birthday. The king put the man in charge of the gardens in the king's palace.
The poor man's heart overflows with joy at the honor he receives from the king.
