The king felt very angry and embarrassed when he heard the child's words. He
quickly ran back to the palace with his face turning red. The people in the street
laughed loudly, and some even pointed at him. The two cheats had already run away
with the gold and silk. The king sat on his throne and thought for a long time. He
realized he had been stupid to believe the cheats. From then on, the king decided to be
more careful and listen to the truth. He ordered his soldiers to find the cheats, but they
were never caught. The king also apologized to the people for his foolish behavior.
Everyone forgave him, and the kingdom became peaceful again.
