The king turns very furious . He decides to maroon the minister deep in the forest . Doing so, he starts off to his palace .
On the way , he encounters some tribal inhabitants . They immediately take custody of the king and prepare him for a ritual sacrifice .
While just about to kill the king ,one of them notices the king's bleeding finger. He informs this to all his fellowmen .
They then let the king go ,saying that an incomplete life can not be given as a sacrifice to the gods.
The king realizes that the mistake committed by the minister has now saved him . He goes back to the minister ,
narrates to him what had happened , apologizes and thanks him . The minister being very optimistic, says that its he who has to thank the king for marooning him. Bewildered, the king asks what for he is thanked?

The minister replies that if he had not been marooned by the king, the tribals would have killed him for being perfectly healthy. Saying so, the minister concludes that there is always something good in whatever happens. Lets look at the better part of things.
