    The king of a large kingdom called his four sons to him as he was growing old to decide which son would inherit the kingdom. The first son said he would give his wealth. The second said he would give his intelligence. The third said he would give his strength. The fourth son said he did not have these attributes but had spent his time among the people, sharing in their sickness and sorrow and learning to love them, and would continue to do so. When the king died, the people rejoiced the most that the fourth son would be their new king.
