saint to give him some food. The saint gave him the food but the selfish

                          king didn’t like the food and threw it. The saint felt very bad and angrily


                          said to the king, “You did not respect the food I gave you. I curse you that

                          one day you will become a tree and all the people will eat your fruits. But

                          you will not able to eat them. Whenever you will find something to eat

                          you will not be able to move, you will starve but you will not get food.”

                          The King laughed at him saying that this is not possible. Slowly, day by


                          day the king started turning into a tree. As the days passed, he started

                          starving. Almost six months passed, he was waiting for someone to come

                          and help but no one came.


                          One day three boys were playing hide and seek in the garden. One boy

                          hid behind that tree. Suddenly, he heard a voice, “Please help me child!

                          I am starving since last six months. I’m the king of this state but I have

                          been cursed by a saint for my wrong deeds.” Unfortunately before the

                          child could understand and react it started raining heavily the wind started


                          blowing. So the child ran away home. There was no one for the king. Due

                          to the storm the tree fell down and the king died.
