The King, His Fierce Dogs… and a Lesson in True Loyalty

When the king acquired fierce dogs to throw those he was angry with into their pit, he had a loyal minister who had faithfully served him for ten years. In a moment of anger, the king ordered that the minister be thrown to the dogs. But the minister asked for ten days, saying: “Let me serve these dogs before my death.” The king agreed. For ten days, the minister fed the dogs, cleaned them, treated them, and cared for them until they grew fond of him and loved him. When the time was up, the king ordered that the minister be cast into the pit. As soon as he entered, the dogs rushed at him… but instead of tearing his flesh, they began to lick his hands and surround him affectionately, refusing to harm him. The king was astonished and shocked by what he saw! The minister said: “My lord, I served you for ten years and you forgot all my loyalty in a moment of anger. Yet I served these dogs for only ten days, and they did not forget my kindness.” The king realized his mistake, felt ashamed, pardoned the minister, and honored him before everyone. 📌 Moral: Loyalty is not measured by words but by deeds, and those who recognize kindness never forget it.
