Beautiful Story King's Sugar

                                      HOW AND ARE ATE THE KING"S SUGAR

Long, long ago when the sinhalese kings were ruling Sri Lanka, there lived a famous court jester by the name of
Andare. By his many tricks and witty jests he amused the king and the queen at all time of the day. He was
therefore allowed much liberty at the court.


           One morning, when he went to the palace, he saw some sugar spread on a mat put out to dry in an inner
courtyard. He pretended not to know what it was and asked the king, who happened to be there at the time,
" What is this stuff, Your Majesty, that is on the mat?" " It is a  kind of white sand, Andare," replied the king.
" Do you like to eat it?" " Oh, no my lord: not so soon," said Andare, and immediately thought of a  cunning plan to eat the sugar.


           When he returned home that evening he told his wife and son of the sugar in the palace and his plan to eat it up. The following morning he gave some instruction to his son and set off to the palace. the king happened to be once again in the  same courtyard. The sugar had been again put out to dry. They were soon in deep conversation when Andare's son appeared on the scene with signs of great distress.

   " what's the matter, my son?" asked the jester.

  "Oh, father dear, our mother dear has just died," sobbed the lad." And she called out to you several time  before she died. oh father, what shall we do?" Andare thereupon fell on his knees and, wringing his arms like a mad man, began to weep in a torrent, yelling out," What is the use of my life now? Let there be sand on the mat gulping down handfuls of the  " white sand !"  Little Andare too followed the father's  example and  soon the sugar on the mat was almost over.

  The  king was both astonished and amused at the scene. He knew that Andare had once again played him a handsome trick. "Take home" he said to  his jester,"What is left of the sand. Palace a little of it in  your dead wife's mouth, and see what comes of it. Perhaps she may come back to life, Andare!"
