An old hermit was once invited to visit the court of the most powerful king of those times.
"I envy such a saintly man, who is content with so little," said the ruler.
"I envy Your Majesty, who is content with even less that I," responded the hermit.
"How can you say such a thing, if this entire country belongs to me?" - said the offended king.
