The malicious prince
During the ancient times, there lived a malicious prince who had a mindset and heart geared towards conquering most of the countries of the world as well as frightening the people, devastating their countries using fire and sword, his soldiers scorching the crops in the farms. At the same time, setting the peasants living rooms on fire, such that the flames stroke the green leaves off the branches leaving the fruits and the trees dried up. Most of the poor women fled with their naked babies on their arms, which never prevented the soldiers from chasing them and torture them. According to him, his deeds were right and pleased the gods, and this was just by the natural course that things ought to take. The prince’s power was seen to grow daily with his name being feared by everyone, with fortune favoring his actions.
He immersed massive wealth from the towns and the countries he conquered, where he gradually accumulated all the riches from the conquered cities. Using the immersed riches, the prince erected magnificent halls, churches, and palace.to anyone who had a view on the splendid buildings would exclaim with admiration, “what a mighty prince.” But they lack the knowhow of the endless agony the prince had cause to other countries, and also they didn’t hear of the sighs or lamentations rising from the debris of the cities already destroyed.
The prince became famous, made wars with all his neighbors’ and lastly defeated them, subjecting the conquered kings to torture by chaining them up with golden fetters to his chariot and driving them along the streets of his city. Forcing the kings to kneel at his feet as he sat down.
Pride comes before a fall. The prince agony developed when he claimed to compete with God—ordering his soldiers to construct a magnificent ship sailing through the air. The vessel was fitted with eyes; each of the eyes was fitted with gun barrels used for attacking his neighbors.The end of the prince came one day after the ship was struck by lightning, killing the prince and all the soldiers that were on the ship. The correct setting of the story is to develop caution and make people understand that what goes around comes around, and he who kills by a bullet will die of a shot.
