He thenordered his people to cover every road in the entire countrywith leather. Definitely, this would need thousands of cowsskin, and would cost a huge amount of money.

Then one of his wise servants dared himself to tell theking, “Why do you have to spend that unnecessary amount ofmoney? Why don’t you just cut a little piece of leather tocover your feet ?”The king was surprised, but he later agreed to hissuggestion, to make a “shoe” for himself.There is actually a valuable lesson of life in this story:to make this world a happy place to live, you better changeyourself – your heart; and not the world.
