      \nThe King and the hermit removed the wounded man’s clothing and found a large wound in his stomach. The King washed and covered it with his handkerchief, but the blood would not stop flowing.

      Question 1.
      \nWhat did the King promise the man?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe King promised to give back the man his property.<\/p>\n

      Question 2.
      \nThe hermit said that the King had been answered. If you agree, what was the answer to the first question?
      \nAnswer:
      \nThe hermit said that the king had been answered. We agree with this point. The first question of the King was – \u201cWhat is the right time to begin something?\u201d If the King had not pitied the hermit s weakness and had not dug those beds for him he would have gone away. Then that man, bearded one would have attacked. So the most important time was when the King was digging. In another incident, the most important time was when he was caring for the wounded man.<\/p>\n

      Question 3.
      \nWhy did the hermit say that he was the most important man?
      \nAnswer:
      \nKing took pity on hermit and spent a whole day with him in digging the beds. If he had not dug those beds for him, he would have gone away. Then, the enemy of the king would have killed him. The king later saved his life. The most important person is the person that we are with at any particular moment. So hermit said that he was the most important man.<\/p>\n

      Question 4.
      \nAccording to the hermit \u201cHow is the most important time. Why?
      \nAnswer:
      \nAccording to the hermit \u2018Now\u2019 is the most important time, because there is only one time that is the most important. The digging of beds by the King was only time that was the most important because it saved him from the bearded man’s attack. Secondly the King’s caring the wound of the bearded man was the only time that was the most important because his caring saved the life of the bearded man.<\/p>\n

      Question 5.
      \nWhat according to the hermit was the most important business?
      \nAnswer:
      \nAccording to the hermit the most important business was the King’s digging the beds, for the hermit and caring the wound of the bearded man. These are considered as the most important business to do good that person.<\/p>\n

      The Three Questions Summary in English<\/h3>\n

      The lesson is about a king who had three questions and was seeking answers to them. In the end he found answers form a hermit and were quite satisfied.<\/p>\n

      Once there was a king. He had three questions and he was trying to get answers to them. He had thought he would never fail if he knew three things. The three questions, that the king was seeking answer were
      \n1. What is the right time to begin something?
      \n2. Who should a king consider the most important?
      \n3. What is the most important thing for a king to do?<\/p>\n

      The king sent messengers throughout his kingdom promising a large sum who would answer the three questions. Inresponse to the King’s proclamation many wise men came to the King. They gave different answers to his question but none of them satisfied him. At last, he decided to seek advice from a certain hermit who was well known for his wisdom. One day he went to the hermit in ordinary clothes. Before he reached the hermit’s hut, he left his horse with his bodyguard and went alone. He saw hermit digging the ground in front of his hut.<\/p>\n

      The hermit saw the king and greeted him. Then he continued digging. The King told him that he had come to him so that he could get answers for his three questions. The hermit listened to him, but he did not speak. The King thought the hermit might be tired. So he took the spade from the hermit and started to work in his place. The hermit expressed his thanks to him. When he stopped digging he repeated his questions, but the hermit gave no answer.<\/p>\n

      Meanwhile, the hermit saw a bearded man running towards them. He had pressed him both hands on his stomach. The blood was bleeding from it. A son he reached the King he fainted and fell to the ground. The King and the hermit at once removed his clothes and found a large wound in his stomach. The King washed the wound and covered it with his handkerchief, but the blood flow would not stop. He redressed the wound until the bleeding stopped. After some time, the bearded man closed his eyes and lay quiet.<\/p>\n

      The King also, tired digging work lay down on the ground and slept throughout the night. In the morning the bearded man asked to forgive him because he had planned to kill him on his way back home. The bearded man was his enemy because the king put his brother to death and seized his property. Therefore he had made up his mind to take revenge. But the King’s bodyguard recognised him and wounded him.<\/p>\n

      \"KSEEB
      \nSo he escaped from him and he would have died if the king had not dressed his wounds. The bearded man wished to kill him, but what happened, he had saved his life. He told the King that he would serve as his most faithful servant if he lived.<\/p>\n

      The King was quite happy because he made peace with his enemy easily and moreover he won him as a friend.<\/p>\n

      Then leaving the wounded man in the hut the king went up to the hermit and asked him to answer his questions. The hermit told him that he had been already answered. The King surprised and asked how he had been answered.<\/p>\n

      According to the hermit, if the King had not pitied the hermit’s weakness the previous day and had not dug those beds for him, he would have gone away. Then that man (the bearded) would have attacked him. So the most important time was when he was digging the beds (This is an answer to the King’s first question). And the most important person was the hermit because he allowed him to dig the beds (This is the answer to the King’s second question). And to do him (the hermit) good or helping the hermit was the King’s most important business. In a second incident, the most important time was, when the King was caring for the bearded man, because if he had not dressed his wounds, he would have died without having made peace with him. So here the King was the most important man. The service done to the bearded man by the King was the most important business.<\/p>\n

      Then the hermit said to the King “There is only one time that is important time \u2018Now\u2019. It is the most important time because it is the only time we have any power to act.” \u201cFurther he said to the King \u2018The most necessary person, is the person you are with at a particular moment. The most important business is to do that person well because we are sent in this world for that purpose alone.” Thus the hermit explained the answers to the King\u2019s three questions.<\/p>\n
