Long, long ago there lived a king. He was very old and he had no children. So he wanted to select a new king in the country.
One day, the king asked his ministers to give all the children in the country some flower seeds and told them, "Who can plant the most beautiful flowers will be the king."
A child named David planted the seeds and looked after them carefully. But day after day, no flowers came out from the basin. He was very disappointed.
It was time to show the most beautiful flowers. The children from all over the country came with their beautiful flowers.
The king walked in front of the children. When he saw the beautiful flowers, he was very unhappy.
Suddenly, he saw a child carrying an empty basin. He was very glad and asked the boy, "Why do you carry an empty basin?" The boy cried and told him the truth.
The king laughed, "You are an honest boy. You will be the future king." In fact, the seeds had been boiled.
