Once there lived a young prince named Sam who was the only child of the king of a very rich and influential country. He had taken special training in archery and in his training showdown proved that he was the best archer in the whole country and a worthy heir for the kingdom. The King was very happy about the skills of his son and appointed a special minister to assist the prince with royal matters as Sam would be the future king of the nation.
Sam was very arrogant due to the thought that he had mastered whatever possible in archery and he had no rival competent enough in the whole world. He became interested in the worldly pleasures that was there in the palace and spend time in entertaining activities and showed least interest in royal matters.The minister was very much worried about the same and decided to talk to the price. When the minister went to the palace. the prince was drawing a picture and the prince was happy to see the minister looking at his painting.
Sam:"What do you think Minister, apart from archery, am too good with the paint brush, isn't it?"
The minister smiled and nodded. He said:" The prince indeed has a lot of talent, the arts and culture needs to be flourished but as a prince you should be ready to take part in royal discussions and daily archery practice.This will help you to understand the politics involved and rule this mighty kingdom."
The prince didnt like the ministers idea that he had to train archery daily.
Sam:"I am very good in archery already Minister. Let me master the rest of things now, I will study the royal things as time pass by."
The minister left sadly. Years passed, and the prince didnt practice archery but allowed himself to be indulged in pleasures the palace offered. Suddenly one day the king got terribly ill and died. Sam was made the new king and he was not sure what to do next as being the King, he understood that the King has many responsibilities. As the King died, a cruel conqueror decided to attack this mighty kingdom. Sam let his troops in to the battle, but to his great surprise he found that he had lost his touch in archery skills and he was not able to focus his arrows which led him to a big despair. Sam was arrested and his army was on the verge of defeat when the minister, who asked aid of a neighbouring country, with its army fought against the conqueror and succeeded. The conqueror fled and Sam was very ashamed that he didnt listen to the minister initially.
After returning to throne, Sam appointed the minister as his cheif advisor and started practising archery and studying politics by which he became one of the most famous kings that land had ever seen.
