In the Kingdom of Fools, everything looked odd. The disciple was arrested instead of the rich merchant just because he could fit the stake. He recalled the words of his Guru and started praying.

People wanted that a wise person should sit on the throne. After the death of the king and the minister, the people were impressed by the wisdom and power of the Guru. They thought that if the Guru and his disciple became the king and the minister, there would be peace all around. So the people chose to crown the Guru and his disciple. Consequently, the laws changed and the people worked during the day and slept at night as per the instructions commanded by their new king.
