After a few days, Bruce realized that he had no money left. Soon, he decided to leave the village to seek his fortune.
He walked and walked and finally reached a temple. The temple was very crowded. The people were standing in a queue. At the front of the queue, there was a shiny pedestal. “What is happening?” asked Bruce to a person standing next to him.
“You see,” said that person pointing to the crown, “that’s a magic crown. It will glow brightly when a very kind man and a selfless person touches it. He will be the rightful owner of that crown. Go ahead! Try touching it.” “I am not interested,” said Bruce. “But why? Why don’t you touch it, Sir?” People around him persuaded him to touch it reluctantly.
