The Kings Challenge | A Story to teach you the Power of Perseverance

[Music] there was once a rich King who was looking for the right man to marry his daughter so he decided to set a challenge to see which man has the right mindset and will not give up at the first sign of hard times for any candidate to pass the challenge they had to wear Royal metal armor and climb 500 stairs to the top of the mountain where the King's Castle was located many men from around the world came to take on the challenge but as soon as they put on the armor they realized that it

would be an impossible task most men took the first step then they looked up at the remaining 499 steps and gave up a couple of men managed to get to the Second Step but then decided to give up and so it went on for the next couple of 100 men some making it even to the third step the King was looking well worried he wondered if there was any person worthy of his daughter everyone who came and tried their luck with the challenge stayed after they failed to see if anyone would be able to pass

the challenge nobody believed it could be done everyone has failed so far and they were saying that the challenge was set up so it couldn't be completed the strongest military men tried and failed the best athletes tried and failed the hardest working working men tried and weren't able to get past the third stairs no one was able to make it any further they all blamed the armor and the steps if only the armor was lighter if only the stairs wouldn't be so Steep and then to the surprise of everyone a young man that didn't look

special said he wanted to try as everyone else before him he got his chance he put on the heavy armor and went toward Wards the steps everyone yelled he wouldn't be able to get past the first step but he made it to the second in no time when he came to the fourth step he could barely lift his shaking feet but he took a deep breath and made the next step now he felt like he was about to drop but he decided to push on he kept repeating to himself one step at a time I

just need to make this one as he got to the fifth step he sudden felt a huge pull from the top suddenly his armor was a little bit lighter so he decided to take one more step saying to himself I'm not ready to give up yet to his surprise on this next step the armor felt lighter he felt very tired but thought he could take one more step and so the not so special young man continued with each step he felt his armor getting lighter and his goal closer when the young man completed this challenge
