The scholar's four questions

There was once a great scholar. Everybody in the kingdom appreciated him
because he was so learned. Unfortunately, although he was very learned, he also
had great pride.

One day this scholar put on a gold necklace and went to the palace of another
king. He said, "Whoever can defeat me in wisdom will get this necklace. I will
challenge everybody!"

 
All the scholars in that particular kingdom had heard about this scholar, and they
were afraid that they would lose. So they would not accept his challenge. The king
was very sad that nobody would accept the challenge.

 
Finally, the court jester said, "I will accept the challenge."

 
The king had practically surrendered to the scholar but he thought it would be
amusing if his jester challenged him. He thought that he was just a joker and would
not be able to win the necklace.

 
The court jester said, "I will ask you four questions. If you answer any of my
questions correctly, then you will lose, but if all your answers are incorrect, then I
will accept defeat and the king will give you anything you want."

 
Then the court jester asked his first question: "Where do you come from?"

 
The scholar said, "I live here." This was incorrect, since he came from another
kingdom. So by giving the wrong answer the scholar passed the first test.

 
The jester's second question was, "How long have you been here?"

 
"Three years," the scholar said, which was also incorrect. Still the court jester was
not able to trick him.

 
The third time the jester asked, "Our king is very nice, kind and generous. Do you
agree?"

 
The scholar said, "Your king? What you are saying is totally wrong. Your king is
very undivine, very unkind." So again the scholar passed the test.

 
The court jester said, "It seems that I can't defeat you. How many questions have I
asked you so far?"

 
The scholar said, "You have asked me three questions and you have one more
question. If I do not answer it correctly, then you will lose."

 
The court jester cried out, "Look! The scholar has lost. He has answered this
question correctly."

 
So the scholar gave his necklace to the court jester, and the jester immediately
gave it to the king. The scholar's pride was totally smashed. He said, "I will never
come to your kingdom to challenge anybody again."

 
All the scholars were very impressed by the court jester's cleverness. They knew
that they would not have been able to defeat the great scholar. The jester said,
"You see, when great scholars are not alert, they lose. Otherwise, had he been
alert, he would have saved himself."

All the scholars were very impressed by the court jester's cleverness. They knew
that they would not have been able to defeat the great scholar. The jester said,
"You see, when great scholars are not alert, they lose. Otherwise, had he been
alert, he would have saved himself."

The scholar's four questions

There was once a great scholar. Everybody in the kingdom appreciated him
because he was so learned. Unfortunately, although he was very learned, he also
had great pride.

One day this scholar put on a gold necklace and went to the palace of another
king. He said, "Whoever can defeat me in wisdom will get this necklace. I will
challenge everybody!"

 
All the scholars in that particular kingdom had heard about this scholar, and they
were afraid that they would lose. So they would not accept his challenge. The king
was very sad that nobody would accept the challenge.

 
Finally, the court jester said, "I will accept the challenge."

 
The king had practically surrendered to the scholar but he thought it would be
amusing if his jester challenged him. He thought that he was just a joker and would
not be able to win the necklace.

 
The court jester said, "I will ask you four questions. If you answer any of my
questions correctly, then you will lose, but if all your answers are incorrect, then I
will accept defeat and the king will give you anything you want."

 
Then the court jester asked his first question: "Where do you come from?"
 
The scholar said, "I live here." This was incorrect, since he came from another
kingdom. So by giving the wrong answer the scholar passed the first test.

 
The jester's second question was, "How long have you been here?"

 
"Three years," the scholar said, which was also incorrect. Still the court jester was
not able to trick him.

 
The third time the jester asked, "Our king is very nice, kind and generous. Do you
agree?"

 
The scholar said, "Your king? What you are saying is totally wrong. Your king is
very undivine, very unkind." So again the scholar passed the test.

 
The court jester said, "It seems that I can't defeat you. How many questions have I
asked you so far?"

 
The scholar said, "You have asked me three questions and you have one more
question. If I do not answer it correctly, then you will lose."

 
The court jester cried out, "Look! The scholar has lost. He has answered this
question correctly."

 
So the scholar gave his necklace to the court jester, and the jester immediately
gave it to the king. The scholar's pride was totally smashed. He said, "I will never
come to your kingdom to challenge anybody again."

 
All the scholars were very impressed by the court jester's cleverness. They knew
that they would not have been able to defeat the great scholar. The jester said,
"You see, when great scholars are not alert, they lose. Otherwise, had he been
alert, he would have saved himself."
