THE KING WITH THE GUESTS AT HIS PARTY

There was a king who always had a party in his city. On the day of the celebration everyone tried to wear their best outfit. With great cacophony and singing voices, people entered through the gardens of the party hall. The king welcomed everyone present and gave the voice to start the dance. Meanwhile, along the way, the man known by the city was seen coming as the cripple of the hills. He was an impossible man of his legs, who only allowed himself to be dragged and moved with his hands and the trunk of his body. arriving at the gates of the palace, they gave notice to the king, who, going out, saw the legless man and ordered his servants to help him and to place him at the banquet table. Everyone present was amazed. The king ordered that the food be served and on his right side was the crippled leg, who had his knees quite damaged from crawling on the road. The cripple enjoyed the party and the banquet occupying a prestigious place at the table of the Great King.
