Once upon a time there were two boys who lived in a palace and worked for the King. One boy fell in love with a girl and wanted to give her a present. He suddenly saw a vase filled with the loveliest flowers.
He decided to take one flower and give it to the girl. He did the same thing the next day, and the next, and the next...until, one day, the King noticed only a few flowers were left in the vase. The King was so angry that he gathered everyone in the palace and decided to find out the truth.
When they all stood before the King, the boy thought he should tell the truth. However, the other boy told him not to tell the truth because the King would be angry with him. When the King came near, the boy shook with fear. But he still decided toconfess.
As soon as he told the truth, a smile appeared on the King's face. The King said to the boy, "I couldn't have thought of a better use for my flowers."
Then the King went to the vase and took two of those wonderful flowers, one for the girl, and the other for the Queen.
