One hot day, the king took a walk along a river. Then he decided to swim in it. While he was in the river, he suddenly felt ill and almost died. At that time, two farmers were working in the field nearby. They came over, jumped into the river, and saved the king.
The king said to the two farmers, “You can ask for anything. I’ll give it to you.” “Don’t tell anybody that we have saved you,” the farmers said.
