personal assistant must meet him. Many people gathered in the palace.
The king led them to a pond and said, Whoever will fill this ponds water
in this pot will be chosen for the post. But remember, there is a hole in the
pot.
So some people left without a single try. While some people tried for
once and then said, The king has already someone else. Lets go!
But one man patiently kept filling the pot with pond water patiently.
He filled the water in the pot from the pond and came out on the ground.
But always within few moments, the water poured on the ground
completely. He tried that uncountable number of times. At last the pond
became empty. The man found a diamond ring in the empty pond and he
gave it to the king. At this the king said, This ring is a reward for your
