Stay safe, Staying Far from the crowd.
There was a spectacular 'Coronation ' celebration of the young prince of Han dynasty in CHINA after the sudden death of the mighty emperor.
The young prince felt proud to be the emperor. After having coronation he felt his subjects, soldiers of defense were most benign and obliging to his sublimity.
One day he said boastfully to his minister,
" I think all subjects of the empire are respectful as well as afraid of me [as they had been to my father], isn’t it minister ?"
Minister replied ,"that should be !
-But you can take test to become sanguined of yourself , me lord ."
-" That's a good idea.!"
The prince- emperor asked the minister to announce a mammoth gathering of all people of his land for emergency to be present at 2:pm, on next day.
Next day the people gathered in the court with full of apprehension.
The Minister announced that the Prince emperor wanted to take a test of your "loyalty" to the new emperor and the land.
"Now listen carefully:--
1).Those who obey the emperor most as 'supreme power' ,they must run towards the Riverside as soon as the bell-ring :
2)...The others who are obliged other than the emperor , [if there is any ] must go towards the mountain!
Remember , it is not a fun as sports but an Obligatory drudgery.
Now be ready and stand up in the white- marked line.”
With the sound of bell the mass started running like school kids and crowded on the river side.
The young emperor with bright smiling face began to pamper his own silky beard !
The riverside crowd cheered after coming back with slogan 'long live our new king ';'we love and obey to our king, etc !'
Each of them were given half gold-coin and a metal dragon-badge as reward.
Minister reported the emperor : ' I see a single man still standing near the mountain side alone ! ’
The minister handed over his binocular to the emperor for verifying.
The emperor looked through with frowned eyebrows.
The court was calm & quite as the huge crowd left, praising the glory of the emperor.
The lonely man on the mountainside was summoned by the emperor .
He looked like a short structured skinny man. He began to tremble before the throne of emperor .
The emperor asked him outraging
"....Why did you go towards mountain?
Aren't you afraid of me?
The man fell down to the feet of emperor and replied firmly:
" Me Lord , before coming to palace, my wife warned me,
“listen! never follow the crowd ; deserted place is always safe to stay ;”
……"As the river-side was crowded, so following my wife's order, I went to the opposite side [mountain side].”
