Once there lived a cruel king in the island of Genesis , who was known for his short temper and brutal nature . The only punishment the King gave for any mistakes small or big was to behead the victim .

One day while the King was strolling through the island he noticed a fisherman carrying a huge basket of freshly caught fish , tripping causing the basket to fall . Immediately , the King ordered to behead the fisherman .
Worried at the atrocities of the King , a brave man from the island decided to reform the King . He joined as one of the servants and he noticed that the King behaved in the same cruel way to his servants as well . The number of the King ’ s personal staff reduced considerably and this brave man became his personal servant . He gained the King ’ s trust and

waited for an opportunity to show him his mistakes .
One day he accidentally spilled a glass of water on the King ’ s favourite robe . This angered the King and he was ordered to be beheaded . The brave man used this opportunity and pleaded the King for a chance to explain his mistake . He asked the King a role reversal for a single day which the over confident King agreed . The King was sure that he would not commit any mistake .
Later that day , while the King was cleaning the crystal ware as demanded by the brave man , one of them accidentally fell down and was shattered into pieces . Now the brave man summoned the King and pointed out his mistake . He explained that mistakes could occur in life and they have to be excused . This made the King realise his mistake and he thanked the brave man .
