Test: In The Kingdom Of Fools - 2 - Class 9 MCQ

The servants were tasked with finding a man fat enough to fit the stake as per the royal decree. This search led them to the disciple who had indulged in a diet that made him suitable for the task.

The guru selflessly offered himself to be put to the stake first in order to save his disciple, showcasing his deep care and protective nature towards his follower.

The king was puzzled by the unexpected behavior of the guru and the disciple, as their argument over who should face death first deviated from the norm of expected responses in such situations, leading to a perplexing scenario in the execution process.

The guru and the disciple expressed their desire to enjoy life as a king and minister in this exceptional city, highlighting their weariness of their ascetic existence. This revelation prompted their unusual request for death to be reborn into positions of power and luxury.

The king delayed the execution because he realized that if the guru and disciple were to die first and be reborn as king and minister, he would lose his kingdom to them in the next life, prompting him to buy time to strategize.

To ensure their continued rule over the kingdom, the king and his minister disguised themselves as the guru and disciple, arranging for the guru and disciple to be released. This ruse led to the king and minister being executed in their place.

The people of the city, recognizing the need for new leadership, beseeched the guru and the disciple to become their king and minister. After some persuasion, the guru and disciple agreed to rule on the condition of implementing new laws.
