The first day of every month he used to Disguise and used to go for rounds around the whole kingdom. One day, he saw a young man named thimana. The king stopped him and asked him “how is your king’s governance?’ asked the king. Then thimana replied ‘what to tell about him, No matter how good the king used to be but is making people suffer because of his anger at how good he is’ replied thimanna. ‘How dare you say that in front of me.’ muttered the king. Then he held thimanna’s neck. Then thimanna explained, ‘sir, i have a day where i lie to everyone which is today. Sir but our king is so nice.’ then the king left the young man’s neck.
