The old man was actually an angel disguised as a human, he was sent by God to changed the king’s behavior. After that day, The old man came to the palace, he wanted to talk with the King. “Your highness, if I help you to find the key, would you allow me?” asked the old man. “Yes, Yes! I will allow you!” answered the King happily. “But, if you want me to help, I have some wish.” the old man said. “Yeah, I will fulfill your wish!”
And then , the old man explained his wish. He wished that the king gave food for poor people. He gave his wealth to orphanage. He changed his behavior to the other people. The King agreed with the old man. Day by day passed, the King started to give food for poor people, he helped other people. The king changed, he became better person. After a long time did that, He forgot about the key.
And that day, the old man came to the palace. The king immediately came and started to tell all his story, the old man very happy to heard that. He thought that it was time to went back to his place. “Your Highness, you have changed, So this is a gift for you.” The old man gave the key to the King.
