The king was experiencing body aches and sought help from an old man. The old man advised the king to have his cooks make "the sweetest loaf of bread." Although the cooks made loaves with fine ingredients, the king could not eat them. The old man then took the king to his shack to make bread themselves over three days. Through working in the fields, the king grew hungry and appreciated the bread the old man made more than any other. The king learned the value of work and caring for others from this experience.

The sweetest loaf of bread
One day an old man who was passing outside the house was selling and yelling -I sell wild herbs for toothaches! I sell wild mushrooms for headaches! I sell a lot of medicines; they do miracles. A maid told the king about the old man. -Call him in. I want him to give me his opinion. The guards took the old man and brought him in the nobleman's house. -How can I help you my lord ? -I need your help. My body aches all over and I dont know what to do. -O.K. Can I ask you something? -Of course . -Do you have any problems with your servants, my lord? -No, I dont care about anyone. -Do you work a lot? -No, old man! Dont you see me? I relax all day on my bed. -Do you wish for something that you couldnt have? -That never happened to me, I have everything that Ive ever wished for.
The old man thought for a moment and then, he advised the king to order his cooks to make the sweetest loaf of bread. The cooks of the palace tried to find the purest products to cook the the sweetest loaf of bread . Pure honey, fresh milk, caster sugar, almonds and flour . They made a lot of loaves of bread which smelt really good, but the king couldnt put a bit in his mouth.
The kings advisor sent the army to find the old man and punish him if he doesnt find another solution. The old man came to the palace again and said to the king: -Lets go to my shack and if I dont make the sweetest loaf of bread in 3 days, you can punish me.
The king took the decision to follow the wise man to his shack. They had been walking for hours until they arrived to the shack. When they arrived, the old man said to the king: -Take my scythe and go to the fields to reap the wheat, because Im too old to do it. The king heard the old man and under the hot sun reaped the wheat all day. When he finished, he went exhausted to the shack and went to sleep. Both of them hadnt talked about food.
The next day the king woke up really cheerful and he had really good mood. The old man happily told him: -Good job, yesterday you worked a lot! The king heard the old man and until the night he had finished. When he went to the shack he felt hungry for the fist time! But he was ashamed to ask for food, so he went to bed on an empty stomach, really hungry.
The next morning the old man found another job for the king. Until noon the king was really hungry. When the went to the shack, he said to the old man: -Im hungry! The old man said him to turn on the oven and he started kneading the bread. 3 times the king shouted Im hungry, but the old man asked him to be patient.
After a few hours the king smelt the delicious loaf of bread and he started eating it as it was still hot. -Well done old man! This is the sweetest loaf of bread that I have ever eaten! After that the old man explained to the king that the sweetest loaf of bread is that we make ourselves, after a hard days work; thats why we like it.
The other day the king went back to the palace. From that day on, he cared about his servants and helped all the people of his kingdom, making big projects.
