Once upon a time, there lived a king who liked to play tricks on his people. Though playful, the king
was always worried about the safety of his country. So, he ordered his soldiers to build a big drum. After a
few weeks, the drum was completed. It was as big as an elephant.

The king then called all his people and said, “I have a very big drum. When the country is in the
danger, I will beat the drum. When you hear the drum, come to my palace quickly. You must all help keep the
country safe”.

One evening, the king was bored. So, he decided to play a trick on his people. He beat the drum
loudly. All the people ran quickly to the palace to see what was happening. “It is all right,” said the king. “I
was only playing a trick on you. Everything is safe. You can all go home.”

A few months later, some enemies came to the palace. They wanted to rule the country. The king was
afraid and beat the big drum loudly. When the people heard the drum, they just laughed. Nobody came to help
the king.
