It's a philosophical story:
On the birthday of the old king, a poet was called to show his talent in front of the king. The poet passionately played with words, he started with the outfit and gestalt of the king describing how they glitter to light up the whole kingdom. He described the kingdom and compared the king with the great emperors of the past. And slowly, went to the sky to the moon to the stars and the kingdoms of God. The king was made as an incarnation of the Gods.
Listening to the words of the poet, the king was very delighted throughout the poem. In the end, the king announced that the poet will be given 100 gold coins the next day.
The poet went home with joy. He felt that at last he will be compensated for his whole life's struggle. He started to make plans and programs that can be initiated with that 100 gold coins. At one moment he thinks of starting a new business, while at the other he wants to give it to charity. No, I will build a beautiful house and buy some farmland and live happily, he wishes sometimes.
Talking with their mind the whole night, the poet could not sleep even for the agle moment because of the bliss that he is gonna obtain the next day. The whole night being awake to grab his gift as soon as possible he can, he makes his excursion to the palace in the drawn.
When the poet reaches the palace, he sees the king watering the garden, and he tries to make a direct approach to the king but the guard at the gate stops him. The guard asks him, why he wants to go inside. He says that he is there to collect his gifts. The guard reports to the king. The King orders to bring the poet jnfornt of him.
The King says," yesterday, you made me happy with your words, and to pay you back I too made you happy with my words". " what kind of poet you are to wish gold in return for your words. Know that words can be cultivated to get the fruits of golds".
On that day, it was believed that the poet understood that words are the illusion of this world.
