Once upon a time, there was a king, who was very lazy. He did not like to do anything. He waited for his attendants to serve him every moment. He used to lie on his bed always. A time came when he really became inactive.Only eating good food and it is sleeping made him fatty. He became very fat that he could not move around by himself. He fell sick and doctors were called to treat him. Nothing could help him except to become fit and fine.

One day the minister met a holy man (Sadhu). While conversing with each other, the “Sadhu” came to know the fact that the king was unwell. He told the minister that he could cure the king. Hearing this, the minister’s face brightened. He arranged immediately for a meeting of the “Sadhu” and the king. The “Sadhu” saw the depressed king for a while and then spoke nothing serious had happened and that the king would be alright. From the next day the treatment would start.


He asked the king to come to his hut which was at a distance from the palace. The king had to come on foot to the hut. The “Sadhu” came out of the hut noticing he is tired. He offered cool water to the king. The king felt better. The Sadhu brought out an iron ball, the size of a football and gave it to the attendants asking his majesty that daily morning and evening he had to roll that ball in the palace grounds.


The king accepted and left. After fifteen days when the “Sadhu” came to the palace to meet the king, he had lost a considerable amount of weight, was feeling much better and was active. All his sickness had disappeared. Inspite a lot of wealth, the king was not happy as he was unhealthy. Moral: “Health is Wealth”.
