[Music] once upon a time there lived a cruel King in a large and prosperous kingdom this King was known for his ruthless punishments he would not think twice before sentencing anyone to death even for the smallest Mistakes One Day a thief was caught stealing the guards dragged him to the king's court without asking any questions or hearing his side of the story The King immediately sentenced him to death when the thief heard his punishment he did something no one expected he burst out laughing the king puzzled by the thief's reaction leaned forward and asked foolish
man I just sentenced you to death tomorrow you will be hanged why are you laughing most people cried beg for mercy or tremble with fear yet here you are laughing as if this is a joke the thief replied calmly your majesty I laugh because just a week ago a great Yogi taught me a rare and Powerful skill he taught me how to train any horse to fly in the sky but alas after my death this secret will die with me the king intrigued and slightly skeptical said are you saying saying you can make a horse
fly the thief nodded confidently yes my king if you give me a chance I can teach your horse to fly too but this art takes time one whole year after that your horse will soore through the skies like a bird however if I fail you can punish me with the most painful death you see fit hearing this the king's curiosity got the better of his cruelty he thought to himself if this man speaks the truth my horse flying in the sky will make me the most powerful King in the world no one will Dare Challenge
my reign he smiled slightly and said fine I will give you one year but if you fail to keep your promise I will not spare you also during this one year I will ensure that your family has enough food clothes and everything they need so you can f focus on your work do not waste this opportunity the thief bowed low and said thank you your majesty the king released him and the thief hurried home when he reached home his wife and children were shocked to see him alive his wife with tears in her eyes asked
how did you survive everyone knows the king shows no mercy he would have surely killed you the thief smiled and sh shared the entire story his wife was even more surprised but can you really teach a horse to fly she asked hesitantly the thief chuckled and said of course not I don't know anything about flying horses shocked and panicked his wife cried then why did you lie to the king don't you realize that after a year he will definitely kill you you've only delayed your death the thief gently placed his hand on his wife's shoulder
and said my dear let's think positively the King was going to kill me today but now I have one more year to live anything can happen in this time I see three possibilities I might die from some illness or accident before the year is over the king or his horse might die they are both old after all if none of these happen at least I get to live one more year with you and our children isn't that better than dying today his wife listened quietly slowly she wiped her tears and nodded realizing the wisdom in
his words months passed and the thief started to feel uneasy as the one-year deadline approached fear began creeping into his heart he prayed sincerely to God every day promising to leave his life of crime and live honestly if he survived just as the 12th month began something unexpected happened the cruel King's rival launched a surprise attack on the kingdom the enemy spies had been gathering information for months and used this opportunity to overthrow the king the cruel King was killed and the enemy ruler took over the kingdom the new king declared freedom for all prisoners
of the old regime the Thief now free returned home to his family true to his promise to God he gave up stealing and started Living an honest life he worked hard and spent the rest of his days happily with his wife and children dear friends life is full of uncertainties no one knows what tomorrow holds when times are tough remember that everything is temporary and bad times like good good ones will pass never lose hope always look for possibilities no matter how slim they may seem and most importantly focus on doing good deeds your actions
