Emperor Seed

Emperor Seed Story

Once Upon A Time, There Was A King. When He Got Old, It Was Time To Choose A Successor, Instead Of Choosing One Of His Assistants Or His Children, He Decided To Do Something Different. One Day He Gathered Young People Into The Kingdom.

The Old King Said: I Have To Leave And Choose The Next Emperor, I Decided To Choose One Of You. The Children Were Shocked And Then The Emperor Said, “Today I Will Give Each Of You One Special Seed.”

I Want You To Plant A Seed, Water It, And Come Back Here In A Year, Starting Today, With What You Have Grown From That Seed. Then I Will Judge That The Plant You Bring And What I Choose Will Be The Next Emperor.

That Day There Was A Boy Named Raghu, And Like The Others, He Also Received A Seed. He Went Home And Excitedly Told His Mother’s Story. His Mother Helped Him Get A Pot And He Planted A Seed In It And Then Watered It Thoroughly.

Every Day Raghu Would Water Him And See If He Grew Up, After About Three Weeks Some Other Young People Started Talking About Their Seeds And Plants That Were Starting To Grow.

Raghu Continued To Look After His Seed, But Nothing Grew. Three Weeks Passed, Four Weeks, Five Weeks, And Still There Was Nothing, By That Time Others Were Talking About Their Plants, But Raghu Did Not Have A Plant. He Felt Like A Failure.

Six Months Have Passed And There Is Nothing In Raghu’s Pot. He Just Knew He Had Killed His Seed. They All Had Two Trees, Some Had Tall Plants, And He Had Nothing. Raghu Said Nothing To His Friends. He Just Waited For His Seed To Germinate.

Finally, A Year Passed, And All The Youth Of The Kingdom Brought Their Plants To The Emperor For Inspection. Raghu Told His Mother That He Was Not Going To Bring An Empty Pot To The Palace, But His Mother Said That He Must Honestly Talk About What Happened.
