The King and the Astrologer story

Once there was a king in a country. He was fond of knowing his future from the astrologers. One day a famous astrologer happened to visit the capital. The king came to know about the name and fame of the astrologer. At once he invited the astrologer to the royal court. After the astrologer came to the royal court, the king wanted to know about his future from the astrologer. Then the astrologer told the king something unpleasant. At this, the king got furious and condemned him to death. At that time, he said to the astrologer, “Man like you should not live to spoil the peace of the world.” However, when the astrologer was being taken to the execution, another thought crossed the mind of the king and he asked the astrologer. "How long would you live?" After hearing this, the astrologer readily hit upon a plan to escape from death. Then with his ready wit, he replied, “The stars have declared that I shall die only a week before your death. I shall wait to receive your majesty where you are sending me.” At this reply, the king turned pale and shouted, "Drive this wretch away and let him not come here again." After hearing this, the astrologer promptly bade the king goodbye and went away. Thus, the astrologer managed to escape from the king's wrath.
